What is Peaberry?
Often hailed as the ‘caviar’ of coffee, peaberries are coffee beans that are grown alone in a single cherry. They were once considered a defect, a deformed bean for a long time. Then roasters began to notice a peaberry’s single bean had a very concentrated aroma and flavour.
Intuitively, it made sense if the tree was growing just one bean per cherry instead of two, then wouldn’t that bean get twice as much flavour, aroma and acidity? Now, these small round beans are highly prized. From its humble beginnings as a cast away defect, it has now grown into something of a celebrity in the cup.
That’s why we add them into our very own specially created premium Peaberry coffee blend.
