Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee, Whole Bean Bag, Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC. (2 LB.)

I did not know what to expect. Yes yes, I read the reviews and most were awesome but still everyones tastes are different, and their opinion of coffee is different. Coffee like a fine wine or a well aged bourbon has both the bold in your face flavors, aromas and textures. But also like fine wines and bourbons, coffee has a subtle side, and that can make or break a coffee. The Peaberry has a wonderful aroma out of the bag, it is robust but not overpowering to the nose. It has the small beans that you would expect to find and they have the beautiful crack in them from the roasting process with that light sliver in the middle of the crack. They grind well and they produce a new aroma that envelopes the space as the grinder turns humble beans into a fashion of greatness. For my brewing experience I used a traditional drip coffee maker. Because I prefer a robust and hearty coffee I used a two more tablespoons of grounds than required or suggested. However the result was nothing less that coffee bliss. The initial texture on the tongue is velvet and smooth. The flavor is light but complex with subtle hints of chocolate and toffee. There is little bitter flavor on the end. I purchased this looking for a decent coffee for the office to buy in bulk as we go through lots of coffee. However I also have several coffee... snobs... they are self proclaimed coffee snobs. So I wanted something that would both be good to their tastebuds while gentle to their wallets. I was hoping for a decent showing with this brand and variety. Something kin to the flavors and consistency of the mass produced Starbucks or something similar. What I received was nothing if not light-years better than the standard Starbucks coffee. This is a find, a great and worthy find. I have also purchased a two pound bag of the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and I am excited for that as I am to have my next cup of the pea berry. The next bag I purchase will be five pounds to keep the snobs well supplied with coffee that keeps them happy and content. No torches and pitchforks in this office over subpar coffee choices.

Tastes great

Tanzanian peaberry is one of our favorite coffees, and we usually buy it directly from Fresh Roasted Coffee, but it has been hard, lately, to find the beans on hand there. (I recommend ordering this way because they make good on their name and roast the beans nearly to order, and even with shipping, you get the beans within two weeks of the roast date.) Becasue this was offered on Amazon at a discount, I bought it there. One star off because it's been on the shelf for a few months, but a great deal anyway on excellent coffee.

Opening the bag was mouth watering; the aroma was that good. Tanzanian Peaberry is my favorite coffee bean. Rich and full-bodied without the acidity. The roast is closer to medium than light, but that may be a batch issue.

Hands-down one of the best coffees I've gotten on Amazon (and trust me, there's been many). You can tell upon opening that the coffee is very fresh, as if it were made the day before, and the aroma is incredible. I use a hario pour over, since the flavor is very light and this extracts the flavors best. It almost tastes like tea at first, but has the nutty kick and coffee taste towards the end. If you want a significant caffeine trip, this is it. Peaberries have a lot more caffeine since they're whole beans that are roasted lightly to retain the oils and caffeine. I've gotten a better rush from this than Deathwish, which only makes this even better to drink (especially for the price). Overall, I'm very happy with this and will explore other flavors this brand offers because they did an incredible job so far.
