What is Peaberry Coffee?
Unlike typical coffee cherries, which contain two flat coffee beans, peaberry coffee develops when only a single, round bean forms inside the cherry. This rare mutation accounts for only about 5-10% of the coffee harvest, making peaberry beans a special and highly prized variety.
Peaberry beans tend to roast more evenly due to their round shape, delivering a brighter, more intense flavor profile compared to regular beans. With Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, the peaberry variation enhances the already legendary smooth and complex flavor profile.
Why Choose Jamaican Blue Mountain Peaberry Coffee?
- Exclusive Rarity: Peaberry beans are naturally rare, and Jamaican Blue Mountain peaberry is one of the most premium varieties globally.
