Tanzania Peaberry coffee beans are renowned for their unique shape and exceptional flavour profile. Unlike typical coffee beans that grow two to a cherry, peaberries occur when only one bean develops inside the fruit, resulting in a smaller, rounder, and denser bean. Grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru, these beans benefit from high altitudes, rich soil, and an ideal climate, which contribute to their vibrant and complex flavour. The peaberry mutation, found in only about 5% of all coffee cherries, is often hand-sorted due to its rarity and distinct roasting characteristics.
In the cup, Tanzania Peaberry coffee is celebrated for its bright acidity and lively, fruity notes—often with hints of citrus, blackberry, and sometimes a floral undertone. It also features a medium body with a smooth mouthfeel and a wine-like finish, making it a favourite among specialty coffee enthusiasts. The unique shape of the beans allows for a more uniform roast, which enhances their nuanced flavours. Whether brewed as a pour-over, French press, or espresso, Tanzania Peaberry offers a vibrant and satisfying coffee experience.
