What is Peaberry?

Unlike most coffee cherries, which produce two flat-sided beans, a peaberry is a natural mutation where only one rounded seed develops inside the cherry. This denser, smaller bean is often separated during processing for its unique shape and flavor potential. Peaberries are prized for their concentrated character and can often yield a slightly brighter, more intense cup.
