Mount Elgon Peaberry

"The first time we've had a peaberry form anywhere other than Kenya!"

Here we have a really beautiful peaberry. This coffee is mostly Kenyan varietals, and peaberries are very much a Kenyan speciality, but this lot comes from Uganda. 

When we drink this coffee, the first thing we notice is the unmistakable peaberry acidity. It's so distinct. The usual citrus-like character is rounder and juicier here though - and comes across more like raisins than lemons in this coffee. There is a really lovely, gentle lemongrass floral note in there too, and the whole thing is rounded off with a hint of clove in the finish. 

So, yes - it's unmistakeable peaberry, but it's also bringing something a little different too. Enjoy in any brew method.
