I drink a lot of drip coffee and espresso. The caffeine definitely hits me, it just takes a while. I am trying to scale back though. For a while, I was really going overboard.

Robusta usually has a stronger flavor, but a longer roast on Arabica will produce the profile you have.
I'm pretty sure this is an arabica/robusta blend.
