This African coffee variety is wild and gamey, the good kind of gamey that tells you this is not a domesticated coffee. This coffee is a blend from various coffee producers from across the Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions. These groups come from districts in Kilimanjaro such as Hai and Moshi Rural district, in addition the coffee was also sourced from Meru district close to the town of Arusha. The producers of this coffee have farms between 1-2 hectares in size and intercrop with bananas and avocado. The coffee is fully washed and processed on the farms using the locally made hand pulpers, buckets for fermentation and dried on raised beds.
Cupping Notes: Deep and rich in flavor with lots of spices and herbs (plus some crunched-up flowers) in this cup, tastes that linger on your palate. Fruity overtones of raspberry, blueberry, and orange with dark chocolate that nicely balance the florals and spice.
Try before you stock up with a 1/2 pound sample!

a couple years ago I purchased Tanzania Peaberry and it was much better.

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!

Always have loved the peaberry coffee from Tanzania. Makes wonderful cold brew if you roast medium/dark.

Best. Roasted up really well. My favourite bean and medium light roast brings out the flavours.

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 my wife and I favorite coffee to roast and drink. This bean really stood out from all the rest.

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.

Roasted to French, lots of smoke in my neighborhood, rustic flavors, highly recommend for those who love deep rich cups of coffee. Outstanding blended with Colombian at Vienna roast.

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!

Over several years of roasting this coffee has been one of my favorites- love the taste, I usually roast just past first crack. Friends have also given nice feedback!
by Cat on Street on November 29, 2020
fruity (but only very subtle acidity) and pronounced sweetness with rich and smooth body. Great coffee!
by Gary Bergman on November 5, 2020
Roasts beautifully, wonderful aroma, and fantastic taste. Roasted just to the second crack. Delicious
by gbjork20 on September 7, 2020
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.

Nectar of the coffee Gods!

I have been roasting Tanzanian Peaberry for years as it is my wife's favorite. I roast dark, and the beans from coffee corral were as good quality as I've ever had.

by Sahin on June 4, 2020
Tanzania coffee bean is my favorite. It's hard to find good beans. I've ordered 5 pounds from this company and i'm happy with the result. You can order without any doubt! Great quality beans!

Our favorite at home
by Yabadabadoo on May 13, 2020
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!!!!
by Barbara on May 13, 2020
It's ok, but is to hard no good blended.
by Yabadabadoo on May 12, 2020
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.
by Jarred on April 11, 2020
Favorite bean I've roasted. Beautifully bright and smooth. I get lots of tangy lemon followed by peachy/fruity sweetness.
by ShanO on March 11, 2020
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.
by Herb on April 19, 2019
One of my top 3 and keep it "in stock". Have found a lighter roast more flavorful. In my Fresh Roast, it's a quick roast at 3 minutes +/-.
by pmacho81 on January 8, 2019
This was excellent, no complaints very satisfied.
by Gregg Denter on November 2, 2018
I have recently purchased from coffee bean corral and this will be one of my favorites.
by Dave on October 27, 2018
Great quality beans. Little to no damaged beans.
by eve levrae on October 8, 2018
this is my favorite coffee right now. thanks for the great beans at a great price. my only beef is with the shipping cost.
by Stacy on May 26, 2018
This is my favorite coffee going on 33 yrs. just the best flavors, best nose, best balance. A light roast is best. The beanscare smaller but you can’t go wrong with this coffee.
