If you've seen “peaberry” on a coffee bag and wondered what makes it different, here's a good place to explore it. Kenya Nyeri Peaberry from Thanksgiving Coffee Company is a light roast coffee grown by family-owned farms in the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society. Its small, rounded beans give you something specific to learn about while getting to know coffee from Kenya's Nyeri region.
What is peaberry coffee?
Most coffee cherries develop two seeds with flat sides facing each other. A peaberry forms when a cherry develops a single rounded seed instead. It's a bean shape, not a flavoring or a roast level.
Peaberries are selected and separated from other beans. Roastmaster Jacob Long highlights that careful selection, along with the way their rounded shape moves in the roaster, as reasons coffee enthusiasts seek them out. Bean shape alone isn't a promise that you'll prefer the coffee; tasting it is the part that matters.
The family farms behind the coffee
This coffee comes from the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society Limited in Kenya. The original coffee story describes more than 14,000 members, generally working half-acre plots with an average of about 250 coffee trees. That gives some perspective on the scale: small family farms contributing to a cooperative, rather than one large estate.
