Here’s another banger from the Barbosa family to tie of the end of summer bringing fruitiness and tropical sun in a cup. This is a Peaberry from the variety Yellow Catuai. What is a peaberry? A Peaberry is a mutation or natural occurring variation of coffee. It happens when the coffee cherry forms 1 round seed inside it’s flesh as opposed to 2 flat sided seeds that typically grow side by side. This occurs to approximately 5% of coffee plants.
Like mentioned, this coffee comes from the Barbosa family, a Brazilian, family-owned company, who has thrived with a clear mission: to foster the sustainable growth of the Cerrado Mineiro region through the production of exceptional, sustainable coffees.
