About the bean
Tanzania's premium beans, grown on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro near the Kenyan border, produce an unusually rich coffee with a lighter, winy acidity and medium body. The peaberry – only 5% of Tanzanian coffee – occurs when the coffee fruit develops a single oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. The round peaberries are then separated from the flatter beans in the same crop to achieve this gourmet coffee. Peaberry grade coffee is prized by coffee connoisseurs for their uniform roasts.
Mythology has it that the peaberry is male, and often associated with virility.
Roasting recommendations
Roast darker, to capitalize on this bean's intense flavor. Note: This bean requires much less roasting time than others to reach its rich darkness.
