You're used to drinking robusta. That specialty shop is importing and selling 100% arabica. Different species of coffee. Vietnam grows ~40% of the world's robusta, mostly used in cheap cans of supermarket preground.

Like cilantro. Been growing a bucket of it every year since I was a child. My half-uncle is the only person in my family I know of that has the soap gene. Notice how the guy can't get past the taste of wood in his specialty robusta? Its because robusta tastes like wood and rubber. Like intentionally drinking a cup of quakers.

It depends on the burrs. MPs are known to be particularly "screechy".

Yes. Robusta has about twice as much caffeine as arabica. Mainly used for instant and Italian espresso blends because it tastes like shit but is way cheaper to produce. Woody, burnt rubber.
