FARMER NOTES
This peaberry selection is a blend of small lots from several coffee washing stations in Tanzania's Mbinga district. The farms span an altitude range of 1350 to 1600 meters above sea level, and the Kent variety is widespread, a cultivar with some resistance to leaf rust, and thought to be of Bourbon lineage. This is a Peaberry separation. Peaberries are small, rounded beans that occur when one of the seeds within the coffee cherry fails to germinate, leaving the other to occupy the entire space. Without a roommate, the coffee bean takes on the characteristic rounded shape, rather than the typical oval shaped bean with one flat side. Peaberries are often dense, and can take high heat in the roaster without having the roast get away from you.
