TANZANIA KILIMANJARO PEABERRY

Flavor notes: red currant, brown spice, caramel

Producers in the Kilimanjaro region process their coffee cherries at home. They de-pulp the cherry with hand-cranked machines and then wash and ferment the beans in buckets. Next, they dry the beans on raised beds or floormats, and finally they deliver the parchment to the Rafiki mill for hulling and grading.

Peaberry is a grade indicating the small size of the beans. Peaberries are the result of a natural mutation of the coffee bean inside it’s cherry, occurring in less about 5% of the world’s coffee. Normally two flat beans form inside a coffee cherry, flat against each other like two peanut halves. When only one seed forms, the bean is rounder and denser and believed to be more sweet and flavorful as a result.
