Mount Kilimanjaro: Africa's Highest Peak

Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania in East Africa, is a dormant volcano with an elevation of 5,895 meters. The volcanic region's soil is fertile, and coffee is grown at high altitudes using washed processing methods by small-scale farmers.

Understanding Peaberry Coffee Beans

Peaberry beans, as opposed to flat beans (Pair of flat-sided beans), are also known as Caracol or Caracolillo, with the Spanish term meaning "little snail." Botanically, the formation of peaberries is attributed to uneven pollination (Arabica coffee plants are self-pollinating; if a coffee flower has only one ovary or if only one ovary is successfully pollinated, it can produce only one seed), or uneven nutrition during growth (commonly occurring in coffee fruits growing at the ends of coffee tree branches), where nutrients are absorbed by only one cotyledon, allowing only the cotyledon that continues to receive nutrients to grow into a single small, oval, egg-shaped coffee seed, hence the name "peaberry."

Normally, the proportion of peaberries produced by coffee plants is about 5 to 10%, making them relatively rare. Due to differences in shape and size compared to regular flat beans, peaberries are often separately graded and sorted for sale through mesh screening.

Product Information

Product Name: FrontStreet Coffee Tanzania Kilimanjaro Peaberry

Hand-poured Coffee Flavor: Creamy chocolate, with dried plum or citrus-toned fruit acidity, tea-like notes, and stone fruit.

Roasting Characteristics

Because peaberries roll more easily than flat beans during the roasting process, their color uniformity is superior. Light-roasted Kilimanjaro Peaberries show more wrinkles, with stronger acidity and citrus-toned fruit acidity. The tea-like notes and stone fruit aroma leave a pleasant sweet aftertaste in the mouth.

When peaberries are found in regular coffee, it is recommended to separate them for concentrated roasting to avoid uneven roasting caused by mixed roasting.
