Tanzanian Peaberry

   A peaberry coffee bean, which are also called caracol coffee beans or caracolillo, is the result of a coffee cherry producing one oval or pea shaped bean instead of the normal two half beans that are round on one side and flat on the other.   Peaberry coffee beans make up one to nine percent of a coffee crop.  These beans are separated from the rest of the coffee beans and are sold as a premium or gourmet coffee.


Peaberry is normally associated with the Tanzanian coffee bean.  Grown on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, this coffee is recommended for those who prefer a mild, less acidic cup of coffee with a nutty full body flavor.   The berries maybe small but the flavor of the bean is concentrated to give many coffee drinkers the smooth taste they are looking for.
