Guatemala Xinabajul Peaberry

This is a peaberry selection made up of many, many of the small-holders we buy coffee from in the Huehuetenango highlands. As you probably know, peaberries are a mutation where one of the two seeds inside the coffee cherry dies off, leaving behind a single, round-shaped bean. They are the exception, for sure, with most shrubs producing much less than 10%. Some people think that peaberries tend to be sweeter since a single seed receives all of the nutrients. We're not entirely sure this is the case, but I will say that this peaberry selection has matched sweetness and body that we look for in our Guatemala coffees. This project has been going for several years now, and we're excited to again to have the opportunity to pay farmers in rural areas a premium price for their top-quality coffees.
