GoCoffeeGo loves this Coffee! This Kenya Nyeri Peaberry is one of the award-winning coffees from our 2017 Roaster of the Year prize! This Kenya Peaberry is one of the award-winning roasts from our 2017 Roaster of the Year. This coffee is grown by the family owned farms of the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society Limited (FCS) with more than 14,000 members who generally have half acre plots averaging 250 coffee trees. “Peaberries are sought after by coffee connoisseurs for two main reasons: the small size and rounded shape of the beans means they roll around in a smooth and fluid motion inside the coffee roaster for an even and consistent roast. The other major benefit of peaberry beans is that they have been carefully selected, which is essential for optimal quality, regardless of bean shape.” - Jacob Long, Roastmaster This light roast from Africa has a unique mouthfeel with hints of milk chocolate, ripe orange, and caramel. We’re especially fond of this single origin, because it helped solidify our title as 2017 Roaster of the Year, from Roast Magazine.
