I love it! I Hand roast my coffee, and it's a challenge to roast the small beans. I love the complexity, a very strong taste, and it also has a hint of black licorice. I will definitely buy more. 🙂👍👍

It can be a challenge to roast. First crack isn't anywhere near as perceptible as the larger beans. But since I typically go about 10-15 seconds in to 2nd crack, it makes it easier. Very nice notes of sweetness and fruit, and a lingering moderate acidity with notes of cocoa. Fine velvety crema. Very good example of Kilimanjaro area Peaberries. Roasted in assist mode on profile 23 on a Skywalker, dropped at about 215C.

Received this as one of the beans in the subscription plan. This is my favorite so far. The flavor is so rich, tasted some citrus, brown sugar, and the best of all, tobacco/black tea note. I'm definitely buying more of these.

Love this coffee. Reminds me of Ethiopian Limmu. Roast on a Behmor to about half way through first. Love Love Love it.

Love this coffee! I use it in blends and as a single origin. Has something I can't describe that I like. Unique but relatable. Great taste, but fun and different.

TASTE REVIEW
MEDIUM Roast
Used Vermont fresh spring water.
Used a glass percolator.
roasted beans over open campfire - see roasting review...
SPLIT decision 2.5
Wife: did not like it (2)
Me: OK (3)
As it cools, the floral taste increases, which may be a put off. Does have a chocolate taste but the floral/flower taste dominates
Leaves a lingering taste on the tongue.
Does have a mild flavor and does not seem acidic.
Disclaimer:
Tastes are highly personal. I have found that the water used to prepare coffee makes a big difference. I do not like Dunkin or Starbucks coffee.

Very delicious. Screened 13,14,15,16,17. Discarded undersized. Roasted bin sizes individually past medium, perhaps Full City to a slight shine. Sieved the grind 40-60 OPN (1016-1524 micron). Brewed 10g/cup 15 hours later. I don't hold to the theory you must wait "some few days" for flavor to develop. This cup can win prizes.

This is a must have in my collection. I roasted to first crack (medium) on my SR540 and boy, the espresso that i brewed is simply phenomenal. The flavors of the coffee just pop out nicely. I cannot stop with one shot and need to keep going for more! Very fruity and there is a chocolate taste that lingers. Nice and thick body as well. The coffee roasts well and doesnt create a lot of chafe.

I purchased a pound of this Tanzania Peaberry mid August of 2022. This morning (9/3/2022) I roasted the first 8 oz of it in my Turbo Crazy. It looked so good that I pulled a shot of espresso from it a few hours later, and it is absolutely delicious. A nice, high note balanced by a very nice deep body. Can't wait to try it as a pour over after it's rested a day or two.
I roasted this to full city, maybe a bit beyond, just into second crack. It roasted up really well, very even. The beans are absolutely beautiful, perfectly processed and no bad beans. Really nice, high quality coffee!
I will be ordering more of this coffee!

Bright and fruity, but complex with richer undertones. Surprisingly good for ice coffee, too!

One of my favorites. I took this roast to 1 minute after second crack on my Behmor roaster. Great flavor of chocolate and a mild earthy tone. This is a perfect bean for espresso.

One of favorite beans to roast and drink! I use an iron skillet method over a propane fire (an old fish frying set-up), and I like to roast it just almost to second crack for a very smooth cup once it has off-gassed and rested for 2-3 days. Definitely, a favorite and quickly becoming a staple in my coffee stash.

The most fragrant beans I’ve roasted so far, and I’ve roasted Guatemalan, Ethiopian, and Brazilian on cast iron over organic fire. This Tanzanian beans roasted very uniformly, which helps to keep control of darker roasting, and it’s aroma was fantastic even though the resting 18 hrs of rest. My dark roast was fruity and more on the bitter side resembling a french roast. I mixed with some Ethiopian for my enjoyment. It’s a must try!

I have never roasted a peaberry. I have an SR800 and I roasted this to 430 degrees. First crack was very hard to hear in both roasts I did but going by sight and temp the came out great. It is fabulous in espresso with milk. It's also really good in a drip coffee maker. This one is one I'll roast again. I really like beans that are versatile and taste great in espresso and just regular old coffee makers.

The first time I got this as a sample, I roasted this a bit darker than I usually go, there was oil coming out of it after offgassing. I was unimpressed but my husband loved it. I roasted some again, this time a bit past first crack but not to dark, and we both found it tasty. We'll be keeping this in our coffee rotation.

Out of several different beans we tried, the Tanzania Peaberry—at light, medium and dark roasts—has the robust body and full flavor we look for, without the sour finish many such beans also have. Our favorite, by far; warm thanks to the staff at Coffee Bean Corral for their recommendation!

I was worried that my HotTop would be too porous for these peaberries but it worked perfectly. 250g - slow rise from Dry (4.9min) to FC 11.3min @344f. Dropped after 15.0min at 380f (City+). Vivid wild flavors - spicy herbs with some fruity flowers that are balanced exactly the way I love them. This is definitely among my favorites. (6 Months experience roasting)

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get a good rolling first crack with this coffee. The first batch started to get a good crack going but the temperature was running away and I had to dial it back which interrupted the crack, and then I got the crack started again but it didn't last as long as it should. Ever after that it seemed I could not get a continuous crack going. Temperature, smoke, color, etc said it was well into City+ but it never really cracked.
Despite that it still tastes good, but needs full extraction to avoid grassiness.

This is a competition worthy coffee. It has a special mix of boldness, richness, dark chocolate, a hint of tobacco, stone fruit sweetness and a lift of citrus. The aftertaste lingers soft and warm. It earns ever bit of 5 stars.

This is the first time I've roasted Tanzania. Truly spectacular! Maybe one of my very favorites now. Very sweet citrus notes from a light roast from start to finish. Doing pourover on a Kalita Wave 155. Highly recommended!

Beautiful coffee. I roasted this bean to a medium-dark roast and allowed it to rest for a minimum of 72 hours. This peaberry has such a naturally sweet profile. I've already ordered more to roast a small batch to share with friends and family. By far wins the spot for my go-to bean.

Second roast... yummmmm
Took it to dark and shiny, this time less cinnamon but rich chocolate flavor and more body emerged ... this bean has something for everyone no matter how light or dark. My guess is this one is a real favorite of many!
If you haven't tried this one DO IT!!!!

City fans should adore this bean!!!
My first impression while roasting my first batch was the distinct cinnamon aroma. I stopped the roast in the second crack because the aroma was really cinnamon ... I usually go to the "dark side" lol but stopped earlier than I usually do to preservethe spiced notes. ... I haven't let the beans rest yet but I went ahead and pulled a shot. The grind smells heavenly. The shot is a little sour for my taste but city roast fans should absolutely love this bean. The cinnamon is pretty strong. I'm going to go a bit darker on my next try and hope the beauty survives.

I have to agree with all the other reviews, this coffee is really great, well balanced, and smooth. I roast this a medium, and let off-gas for 24hrs. This is one of my "will buy again" top coffee beans to keep on hand without a doubt.
