The first coffee grown in the Kilimanjaro region was planted by Catholic missionaries in Kilema at the end of the 19th Century. Throughout the 20th century, western demand for coffee grew and as a result cultivation spread through many regions of Tanzania.
Peaberry is different to the normal coffee bean in that the fruit (cherry) of the coffee plant contains two beans that develop with flattened facing sides, but sometimes only one of the two beans is fertilized, and the single seed develops with nothing to flatten it. This oval (or pea-shaped) bean is known as peaberry. Typically around 5% of all coffee beans harvested are classified as a peaberry.
Grown at an altitude of 1400 – 1800m, this washed coffee is a blend from farmers in the Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions.
Cherries, comprising of Bourbon and Kent varietals, are processed at both farm level and, for the smallholders, at the washing station. Once fermented, cleaned, soaked and dried on raised beds or patios, peaberries are selected by screen size.
This cup provides a lovely acidity with notes Blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, camomile, toffee.
