It’s back and it’s fresh! Characterized by a winey earthiness typical of African coffees, this offering from Tanzania is one our very favorites. The Peaberry designation indicates the size and shape of the bean (small and round) allowing for an even and consistent roast and creating a rich and mellow flavor profile.
What is Peaberry coffee?
Peaberry, known in Spanish as caracolillo, is a type of coffee bean. Normally the fruit (“cherry”) of the coffee plant contains two seeds (“beans”) that develop with flattened facing sides, but sometimes only one of the two seeds is fertilized, and the single seed develops with nothing to flatten it. This oval (or pea-shaped) bean is known as peaberry. Typically, around 5% of all coffee beans harvested are of this form. Peaberry coffee tastes different from normal beans because the different bean shape leads to different roasting characteristics.
If you need your coffee ground, and to a specific profile, you will be able to do so at checkout in the cart notes.
