The Dominican Peaberry is a deliciously silky cup of coffee. Only making up about 5% of a given crop, peaberry beans are a mutation that results in a rounded, infertile bean with a slightly fuller body than its flat bean counterpart.
This coffee comes to us via the Ramirez Estate's partnership with Cafe Kreyol, which describes the estate as follows:
"This family-owned estate is extraordinarily socially conscious. They use fermented coffee cherries to create natural gas, which partially powers their operation. They also donate books and computers to the local schools, and in a more rural area, they built and funded a new school preventing small children from having to walk over 15 km each way to class. They also help Haitians obtain legal residence in the Dominican Republic, in order to receive fair wages. We pay roughly 300% higher wages to this Estate for their exceptional care of the environment, organic certification, care for local Haitian immigrants, and high cupping scores."
Full City (light) roasted and medium bodied. Mellow, smooth and creamy. Expect notes of almonds and vanilla soymilk, with a hint of sweet orange cream on the finish.
