You might have heard of a specialty coffee estate producing a type of coffee called "peaberry." Historically, peaberry coffee accounts for approximately 5% of a harvest; it is actually an aberration in bean formation. Instead of two large, distinct halves the coffee bean, inside the fruit of the plant, develops into a smaller bean that has the appearance of a pea, thus its name. It is much smaller, denser, and symmetrically round than your ordinary coffee bean, and because of this must be roasted differently than a normal bean.
The reason this coffee nerd appreciates it is because the peaberry tends to have a more concentrated flavor than other beans. We find that peaberry coffees usually produce a lovely, flavorful cup boasting a mild smoothness. Every peaberry coffee we have tried lacks bitterness regardless of brew strength.
