Tanzania Peaberry Coffee

Tanzania Peaberry Coffee is cultivated on the rich volcanic slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in the Kigoma region of northwest Tanzania at altitudes ranging from 3,100-6,000 feet. The country’s mild climate offers the coffee crop two rainy seasons: February through May and June and October through December. Small farms harvest the crop from October through February. The coffee is then wet-processed using water from mountain streams and dried either by the sun or a machine.

Tanzania Peaberry Coffee has enhanced flavor characteristics because of the unique shape of its fruit. These peberries occur when coffee fruit has only a single, oval-shaped bean. Coffee fruit with a pair of flat-sided beans is much more common.
