So, what exactly is a Peaberry? Normally the seed of the coffee fruit grows into the green bean that we all know and love from two fertilised seeds inside each fruit. However, sometimes things are a little different and a Peaberry is born. When only one of the two seeds is fertilised, it produces a smaller bean that looks like a shrunken version of what we'd normally know as a coffee bean. That's because only one seed has grown instead of two.
Some say Peaberry coffees are sweeter and more delicious than their regular cousins; some people even come to us specifically looking for these coffees because they crave them so much! I'll let you be the judge.
This bright and zingy cup hits you with rhubarb and a little shoulder of blackcurrant, but it's silky texture and sweetness is like a dollop of cream and balances the cup out beautifully.
