Only making up about 5% of a given crop, peaberry beans are a mutation that results in a rounded, infertile bean with a slightly full body than its flat bean counterpart. Head Roaster, John Parks, describes the cup as very sweet with bright acidity, citrus and peach notes with a creamy body. He roasts the Tanzania Peaberry just into the second crack to highlight more of the sugars.
I never thought I would like a light roast. I had recently visited Moshi, Tanzania and brought back a kilo of Kilimanjaro Dark Roast directly from the roaster at the coffee plantation. When I saw the Tanzania Peaberry on Armeno Website, it had no roasting option when I ordered it. Upon arrival, I discovered it was a light roast! My immediate thought was disaster, but now I had a pound of it to deal with. To my surprise and delight it is wonderful. Certainly a different taste experience from the usual burnt carmel I love in my French roast varieties. I would never have ordered it as a light roast, so I thank you for the new tasty treat!
There are a few coffees that fit our flavor profile, and all of them happen to be African - Tanzania, Kenya (AA and Peaberry), and Ethiopia. It must be the fact that coffee was invented here. I have found that each bean potentially requires its own grind for french press, so I'm in the process of capturing those details so I don't need to figure it out when I'm rotating through bags.
just not my bean, even went with adding more to the filter, but just not that flavorful
Haven't even received my shipment so it's a bit early to ask me to review.
Oh, how do I love thee, Tanzanian Peaberry! Thou art so sweet, fragrant and smooth...I cannot but help to reach for you each morning.
