Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee

Tanzania Peaberry is a hand-selected, pulped, and fully washed coffee. The processing of the beans is very labor intense as special screens are used to separate the peaberrys from the rest of the coffee beans.

A peaberry is a naturally occurring phenomena. The two seeds inside the coffee cherry fuse, and the cherry rounds up to fill the whole fruit. Some coffee experts insist that the nutrients and associated flavors are concentrated in the remaining seed, producing a more intense coffee flavor than a normal coffee bean.

Tanzania is a tiny producer of coffee beans. Primarily grown around Mount Kilamanjaro (a volcano at around 19,300', it is Africa's tallest mountain) the conditions are ideal. The coffee trees are at an altitude of around 4,000', with rich volcanic soils and plenty of rain all year around.

Order Tanzania Peaberry from the online store. It's available in a medium / dark roast. Buff describes it as: "Medium body, very soft and clean in the cup. A rich and mellow treat."
