Brazilian Sao Silvestre Peaberry

Tasting Notes

Granny Smith Apple - Malted Biscuit Sweetness - Subtle Almond Finish

A peaberry (also called caracol, or "snail" in Spanish) is a natural mutation of the coffee bean inside its cherry. Normally coffee beans grow two to a fruit, flat against each other like halves of a peanut, but a funny thing happens in about 5% of the world's coffee, and a bean is born an only child. This mutation leads to super consistent roast quality, and in this particular coffee we noticed a unique level of sweetness. What do you think?
