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.

Smooth and sophisticated!

Brewed as a flat white, these Kenyan beans produce an interesting, smooth coffee with a vanilla finish. A real treat.
I would echo Rob R's review notes below (22/02/24) - this is a lighter roast coffee that works well with milk.

Interesting, I wonder how many other customers enjoy this as a milkie?

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.
