A complex, interesting coffee with lots of tangy, fruity and sweet flavour notes, and a lingering vanilla aftertaste.

For those not familiar with Peaberries, they're a naturally occurring variant caused by a variation in rainfall and heat, in which a coffee cherry has just one oval or round bean instead of the usual pair of beans (seeds). They're more round in shape than a standard coffee bean, hence their "Peaberry" label.

Peaberries can offer concentrated flavours and interesting complexity, although whether the fact that they're peaberries is truly responsible for their superior flavour is a matter of opinion.

The simple fact is, though, these beans taste great!

How it Tastes

When I first tasted this coffee, other than the obvious complexity and tanginess, I found it quite difficult to pin down the most prominent comparative flavour which I like to do when naming coffees, as you'll have noticed.

After a bit more tasting (yup, a tough job, but someone has to do it, hehe) I decided that the most obvious taste comparison is Rhubarb crumble and custard.

There's a really interesting, lingering tangy acidity that reminds me of rhubarb, and a smooth and sweet note which also lingers, and leaves me with a subtle vanilla aftertaste.

Rumukia Farmers Co-operative

This coffee is produced mainly by smallholder farmers in Nyeri County, adjacent to Mount Kenya, processed by the Ndia-ini wet mill, managed by the Rumukia Farmers Co-operative Society.

The farms are mainly family-run and are about half an acre on average, each with around 250 coffee trees.

Fantastic

Took a few brews to find a recipe I was happy with, but as soon as I got this dialed in? Absolutely divine through my v60. Produces a lightly acidic, complex cup of coffee and is an absolute joy to drink.

Turned a non coffee drinker into a coffee botherer

I treated myself to the light roast selection and my non coffee drinking husband decided this was the favourite. He now starts every day with a cup of this. Really nice rounded flavour, a bit of a tang but not bitter. We buy it preground for the aeropress and it works brilliantly and a great price when buying by the kg.

My favourite beans for cappuccino

I've tried about half a dozen of the Cworks beans, all excellent, but this is my favourite for cappuccino. It's a light roast which makes it an unusual choice for a cappuccino. But I find with a fine grind (setting of 4 on my Sage Barista Express) it works perfectly. If, like me, you find some medium and dark roasts taste a bit burnt in a cappuccino - more roast than coffee - then please try these beans for a really smooth and complex tasting coffee.

Excellent Service.

Bought as Christmas gifts. The customer service and delivery was excellent and can't be faulted. Thanks.
