Buying Tips

  • Peaberry: When only one seed develops inside the cherry it grows into a single round bean — called "Moca" in Brazil. Peaberries make up about 5–10% of a harvest and must be sorted separately
  • Roasting: Their uniform shape roasts evenly, usually giving fuller sweetness and body

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium grind, 89–90°C, ratio 1:15
  • French press: Medium-coarse grind, 4-minute steep for a fuller body
