Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee
Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee: Cookie
Our light roast Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee, lovingly named Cookie, is crafted as a tribute to the American Frontier Camp Cook. When the American frontier was wild and untamed, the camp cook—affectionately called “Cookie”—was the heart of the campfire. Steady, resourceful, and always dependable, Cookie kept the crew fueled for the long trails ahead. Our Tanzanian Peaberry from Mount Kilimanjaro honors that spirit with a coffee as vibrant and memorable as the meals Cookie served.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in the renowned Mount Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania, our Peaberry beans thrive at elevations between 5,800 to 7,400 feet above sea level. This high-altitude environment not only contributes to the beans' unique shape but also plays a crucial role in reducing pest infestations, thereby minimizing the need for pesticides. The cooler temperatures and rich volcanic soil foster the development of bright, complex flavors, while sustainable farming practices ensure that each harvest is both flavorful and of exceptional quality. Handpicked with care, these beans reflect the meticulous attention to detail that defines Tanzanian coffee heritage.
Roasting Level & Process
Our Cookie Tanzanian Peaberry undergoes a light roast, meticulously crafted to highlight the beans' natural brightness and vibrant acidity. The roasting process is carefully controlled to ensure that the delicate flavors are preserved without introducing any bitterness. This gentle approach allows the unique characteristics of the Peaberry beans to shine, resulting in a cup that is both lively and nuanced. By maintaining a light roast, we ensure that each sip delivers the full spectrum of flavors inherent to Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee.
