Welcome back: Tanzania Peaberry! This coffee is especially special, one of our staff favorites. In the cup, you will find a deeply complex and bright array of tasting notes with a well-rounded body. 

On the peaberry: Coffee cherries normally produce two seeds (or beans) per cherry. However, in the case of peaberries, the coffee cherry only produces one seed - this is caused by a random mutation that has been impossible to replicate, and it occurs on every coffee plant across the world, making up around 10% of coffee grown. Growing conditions in Tanzania are additionally optimal, having high altitudes and volcanic soil, and this coffee is exemplary of that!

  • WHAT IS DIRECT TRADE?

    Our green coffee is imported by De La Finca Coffee, who specializes in direct trade relationships. This means that they work directly with farmers to make sure farmers receive more money for their work. From De La Finca: "Through this supply chain model, we not only are able to empower and connect both farmers and roasters but we are also able to reinvest in local coffee growing communities through long-term school projects and initiatives, realizing our long-term vision for sustainable and independent communities."

  • ON ROASTING

    Since we invest in great greens, we focus our roasting energy on getting out of their way. Our small-batch, fluid-bed roaster allows us fine control over roast profiles in addition to yielding a squeaky clean cup. We categorize our coffees by light, medium, and dark roasts, but we really view these levels as cues for tasting notes rather than actually reflecting roast profile.
