About this Coffee

FLAVOR DESCRIPTION

Our great light roast Tanzania shows off the great fruity aspects of peaberries! The bright notes of sweet melon, toffee and caramel are accented with a bright acidity.

ORIGIN OF THE BEAN

Tanzania Arabica coffees are grown on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. It is also grown in the Southern Highlands of the Mbeya and Ruvuma regions where coffee is inter-cropped with banana trees.

WHAT IS A PEABERRY?

A peaberry is a small round bean purposely screened out during the sorting process. Normally the fruit of the plant develops with two halves of a bean in a single cherry, but sometimes only one develops and is oval in shape. This oval or pea shaped seed is called a peaberry. Some believe it roasts more efficiently for a pleasing flavor.
