The Art of Arabica Coffee: A Symphony of Flavors at Momus Paris

Coffee is more than just a beverage. It is an experience, a tradition and a source of inspiration for millions of people around the world. At Momus Paris, we celebrate the excellence of coffee, and more specifically that of Arabica coffee, a variety that embodies the quintessence of refinement and aromatic complexity.

Origins and Characteristics of Arabica Coffee

Arabica coffee, scientifically known as Coffea arabica , is one of the oldest and most widely cultivated coffee species in the world. Originating from the highlands of Ethiopia, it has conquered the globe thanks to its rich flavors and delicate aroma. This coffee is distinguished by its elongated and slightly curved beans, which contain about 1 to 1.5% caffeine, less than its counterpart, Robusta. This low caffeine content gives Arabica coffee a smoother, less bitter taste and a greater taste complexity.

Terroir plays a vital role in the quality of Arabica coffee. Grown between 800 and 2,200 metres above sea level, this coffee develops slowly in a temperate climate, allowing the beans to mature longer and develop a rich and nuanced aromatic palette. Volcanic soils, often present in growing regions, provide essential minerals that enrich the coffee’s flavour profile.

The Aromatic Notes of Arabica Coffee

Arabica coffee is prized for its range of aromas and flavors, which vary depending on its origin. At Momus Paris, we select the best varieties of Arabica to offer a unique sensory experience with each cup.

Arabica coffees can reveal floral, fruity, chocolatey, or spicy notes. For example, an Ethiopian Arabica can offer aromas of jasmine and bergamot, while a coffee from Brazil can evoke flavors of hazelnut and chocolate. These characteristics are the result of a meticulous cultivation and roasting process, where each step aims to preserve and enhance the intrinsic qualities of the beans.

Roasting: A Science and an Art

Roasting Arabica coffee is a skill that we master with passion at Momus Paris. This process transforms green beans into a symphony of complex aromas. A light roast reveals tangy and floral notes, while a more intense roast develops more intense flavors, such as caramel and cocoa.

We are committed to roasting our Arabica coffee in small batches, in an artisanal way, to ensure consistent quality and optimal flavor control. Each batch is carefully monitored to ensure that the roast curve perfectly matches the desired flavor profile.
