„None of the statistics I have seen suggest that Tanzania produces any more peaberry than does any other coffee region. I would guess that at some early date in the development of specialty coffee the association of Tanzania and peaberry was established, and the combination remained standard in the specialty repertory ever since. Certainly the tradition of offering Tanzanian peaberry rather than some other coffee grade or type from Tanzania was well in place when I researched my first book on coffee in 1975. And, because specialty roasters reserve at most one slot for a Tanzania coffee, I suppose that over the years the peaberry option discouraged roasters from offering other Tanzanias.“

„They are grown on small peasant plots and farms in the Eastern part of the country near the old capital of Harrar, at about 5,000 to 6,000 feet. You may see these coffees called longberry Harrar (large bean), shortberry Harrar (smaller bean), or Mocha Harrar (peaberry, or single bean). The Harrar may become Harari, Harer, or Harar. In Great Britain, Harrar is sold as Mocha, adding to the confusion surrounding that abused term.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„Botanists observe that peaberries develop when only one of two ovaries in the flower are pollinated or accept pollination, thus producing one seed rather than two - an only child, as it were, in a species in which twins are the norm. Since Arabica coffee is self-pollinating (the same flower can impregnate itself) excessive peaberry production is a sign of general infertility of the plant. New hybrid varieties of Arabica that introduce genetic material from other species like robusta often produce large percentages of peaberry, for example, though that problem is usually corrected by backcrossing, or reintroducing Arabica material back into the partly sterile hybrid until it behaves normally and produces something close to the normal five percent of peaberry.“

Indian coffee board- Coffee : From Mocha to Mysore : A Coffee Journey (#)

„By 1860, coffee cultivation in the Western Ghats had gained momentum, and by the late 19th century, it may be assumed that apart from the coffee destined for export, some bags of coffee found their way into the domestic market. Facilitated by the railways and orchestrated by enterprising local traders and vendors, coffee moved from road-side stalls into the Tamil home, finding aficionados who roasted their own beans - peaberry preferably - and devised their own unique gadgets and utensils for roasting, grinding, brewing and serving. In the process, they elevated filter coffee into an art form and created a coffee culture that practically defines a community.“

„Notes: A prize winner in the 2004 El Salvador Cup of Excellence competition, where as a green (unroasted) coffee it placed seventh out of hundreds of entries, attracting a score of slightly under 90 from an international jury. An unusual coffee in two respects: It was produced from trees of the large-beaned Pacamara variety of arabica and is composed entirely of the peaberry grade of that variety. Peaberries result when the coffee fruit develops only a single, oval bean rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries produce a somewhat different (often better) cup than normal beans from the same crop, from which they may or may not be separated during grading.“

Ethiopian Coffee (#)

„Harrar coffees are grown on small farms in the Eastern part of the country, dry-processed, and are labeled as longberry (large), shortberry (smaller), or Mocha (peaberry).  Ethiopian Harrar can have a strong dry edge, winy to fruit like acidity, rich aroma, and a heavy body.  In the best Harrars one can observe an intense aroma of blueberries or blackberries.  Harrar coffee is almost always used in espresso blends to capture the fine aromatics in the crema.“

„Coffee trees typically bloom after Kona's dry winters and are ready to be picked in the fall. The North and South districts of Kona are the only regions of the Big Island that can truly be called "Kona Coffee" Coffee cherries, hand picked, pulped, dried and hulled are sorted into the following grades: Peaberry, extra fancy, fancy, No.1 and prime. Kona Coffee is sun dried as a rule and roasted according to an assortment of variables. If anything, my Kona coffee experience varied from my Jamaica Blue Mountain in only the slightest and most pleasant ways.“

„8/30: The El Salvador Cup of Excellence (CoE) Lots arrived! They came in really great; the #12 coffee is from Finca San Jose, a 100% Bourbon that is great in espresso (Illy uses these Bourbon Salvadors in espresso blends); the #15 coffee from Finca La Montañita is a flavor-forward Pacamara; the #19 is a Peaberry Pacamara from Montecarlos farm. The last is a fantastic cup with floral and citrus notes, almost as if a bit of Yirgacheffe was in there. I also have the new reviews up for the Guatemala HHT Finca San Vicente and the Mexican SHG EP Chiapas Jaltenango.“

Kopi Luwak (#)

„Some varieties have earned a special reputation, often based on a combination of rarity, unusual circumstances and particularly good flavor. These coffees, from Jamaican Blue Mountain to Kona to Tanzanian Peaberry, command a premium price. But perhaps no coffee in the world is in such short supply, has such unique flavors and an, um, interesting background as Kopi Luwak. And no coffee even comes close in price: Kopi Luwak sells for $75 per quarter pound.“

It will also tell from which producing zone the coffee comes from; whether a coffee is washed, natural or de-pulped; what type of bean it is, peaberry, other or both; and the number quality grade it has according to the Specialty Coffee Association of Ameerica (SCAA).“

„It is genetically different from other coffee species, having four sets of chromosomes rather than two. The fruits are oval and mature in 7 to 9 months; they usually contain two flat seeds (the coffee beans) - when only one bean develops it is called a peaberry. Arabica coffee is often susceptible to attack by pests and diseases, therefore resistance is a major goal of plant breeding programmes. Arabica coffee is grown throughout Latin America, in Central and East Africa, in India and to some extent in Indonesia.“

„Underneath the parchment the beans are covered in another thinner membrane, the silver skin (the seed coat). Each cherry generally contains two coffee beans; if there is only one it assumes a rounder shape and is known as a peaberry. Coffee beans must be removed from the fruit and dried before they can be roasted; this can be done in two ways, known as the dry and the wet methods. When the process is complete the unroasted coffee beans are known as green coffee.“

„In Eastern Ethiopia, coffee trees are grown between 5,000 and 6,000 feet on small peasant plots and farms. These coffees may be called longberry Harrar (large bean), shortberry Harrar (smaller bean) or Mocha Harrar (peaberry or single bean). They are all cultivated simply, processed by the traditional dry method, and are no doubt organic. Ethiopian Harrar is characterized by winy and blueberry undertones, with good body and high acid.“

„It's a mild cup (like most Island coffees), and brighter than most Konas. As a peaberry, it tends to roast a tad fast so you need to keep a close eye on the "degree of roast." This is especially true since it really shimmers at a City to City+ roast, and like other Hawaiian coffees can go a bit flat in the dark roast stages. Don't let the roast get away from you! The body is light and this suits the overall light intensity of the cup.“
