The peaberry coffee is amazing. One of the very best coffees I have ever enjoyed.
Peaberry is a type of coffee bean. Normally the fruit ("cherry") of the coffee plant contains two seeds ("beans") that develop with flattened sides, but sometimes only one 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 Peaberry.
Peaberry beans roast differently from the corresponding flat sided beans; hence, to ensure an even roast in high-grade coffee peaberry beans are separated out.
Peaberry beans are widely reputed to roast better than flat sided beans roasting more evenly. As well the higher bean density improves heat transfer in the roasting process. A major benefit of peaberry beans is that they have been carefully selected by hand, which is essential for optimal quality, regardless of bean shape.
