Tanzania Hezya Coop Peaberry

Available in 10 oz. biodegradable bags (buy 2 for 10% savings).

The Hezya Coop Society started out with just 50 smallholder coffee growers. Thanks to strong leadership that supplies agronomic inputs and small loans, the coop quickly grew to its current force of 295 members across the Haraka, Hezya, and Izumbi villages in the Mbozi region. In the 2022-2023 crop season, our sourcing partners granted the Hezya coop a loan for a Coffee Production Unit (CPU) so that members can collectively wash process their harvested cherries.

We taste notes of black currant, black tea, raspberry.

What is a peaberry?

The typical shape of a coffee bean, with one rounded side and one flat side, is a result of the two seeds (or beans) growing together in a coffee cherry. About five to 10 percent of the time only one seed forms in a cherry and grows in as a rounded, oblong seed (or bean). These “peaberries” are set aside and those that meet certain criteria, like uniform size, are collected into lots of their own. Are peaberries better than their twin counterparts? That’s up for debate, but there are a variety of factors that lean the argument toward yes. For a more in depth description, check out this article.
