The Kenya Peaberry Backstory
A peaberry is a coffee bean with a story – or rather, a coffee bean with an accident of botany at its heart. Ordinarily, the coffee cherry contains two seeds (beans) that develop flat against each other. Occasionally, by some quirk of pollination or genetics, only one seed develops, growing into a round, dense, singular entity that draws to itself all the nourishment the cherry would have divided between two. These peaberries are carefully hand-sorted from the normal flat beans at origin, and what they offer in the cup is a concentration of flavour that devotees of the form pursue with something approaching devotion. Kenyan peaberries are, by the consensus of serious tasters, among the finest coffee beans in the world. In the cup, the Kenya Peaberry delivers a wine-like brightness of almost startling clarity, blackcurrant and passion fruit swirling through a body of impressive full-bodied weight, with a finish of dark honey and spice that extends long and luxuriously. Whether enjoyed as a vivid black coffee, a fruit-bright cappuccino, a naturally sweet flat white, a macchiato of concentrated Kenyan character, a latte of rare elegance, or a long, bright americano, Kenya Peaberry is a speciality coffee in every sense: rare, particular, and wholly worth the discovery. Supplied exclusively as whole coffee beans in our freshness-preserving valve bags – grind coffee beans fresh for every brew.
