KAHAWA 1893 Tanzania Peaberry Whole Bean Coffee 12 oz — Medium-Light Roast, Fruit-Forward Plum Notes

KAHAWA 1893 Tanzania Peaberry is a medium-light roast whole-bean coffee showcasing round, high-sweetness peaberries with lively fruit and mellow plum notes.

This 12-ounce bag of whole beans is a single-origin-influenced Peaberry blend from Tanzania, roasted to a medium-light level to preserve bright acidity, fruit complexity, and a smooth finish. Peaberries are rare — a natural mutation where one round seed forms inside the cherry — and they tend to develop concentrated flavor and sweetness. KAHAWA 1893 works directly with East African women farmers, sourcing organic Arabica beans and offering a farmer-tip program that channels support straight to the producers.

What flavor profile should I expect from these Tanzania peaberry beans?

The roast highlights natural fruit-forward notes with a soft, wine-like brightness and a rounded plum sweetness. Acidity is lively but balanced by a smooth body, making the cup expressive without harshness.

• Primary tasting notes: plum, subtle winey acidity, mellow finish
• Body: medium with silky texture
• Roast level: medium-light to preserve aromatic fruit compounds
• Suitable brew methods: pour-over, drip, and French press for fuller extraction

How should I grind and brew these whole beans for the best cup?

Grind size and brew method change the emphasis of the flavor: finer grinds bring forward acidity and sweetness, coarser grinds yield softer, more textured cups. For everyday clarity, use a medium-fine grind for pour-over; choose medium for drip; and coarse for French press.

• Pour-over: medium-fine grind, 1:15–1:17 ratio, 3–4 minutes brew time
• Drip machine: medium grind, standard machine settings
• French press: coarse grind, 1:12–1:15 ratio, 4 minutes steep
• Grind fresh just before brewing to preserve aroma and sweetness

Why choose Peaberry beans and how are they sourced?

Peaberries are uncommon and valued for their density and concentrated flavors because the coffee cherry produces a single rounded seed instead of two flat beans. KAHAWA 1893 sources these Arabica peaberries from trusted East African partners, emphasizing organic practices and direct relationships with women farmers.

• Only about 5% of harvests are peaberries, making them unique
• Organically grown Arabica beans with sustainable farming practices
• Direct trade relationships with women farmers in East Africa
• Packaging includes a QR code to send tips directly to farmers (100% matched by KAHAWA 1893)

How should I store the beans to keep them fresh?

Keep whole beans away from light, heat, moisture, and strong odors to maintain peak freshness. Store in an airtight container at room temperature and grind only what you need for each brew.

• Transfer to an opaque, airtight container after opening
• Avoid refrigeration or freezing for daily use; freeze only long-term if unopened
• Use within 3–4 weeks of opening for best aromatic character

Who this coffee is for: If you enjoy single-origin character, bright fruit notes, and a clean yet rounded cup, KAHAWA 1893 Tanzania Peaberry will appeal. It’s ideal for home baristas who grind fresh, people seeking ethically sourced beans, and anyone looking for a giftable 12 oz bag with a story — especially those who appreciate supporting smallholder farmers through direct-pay initiatives.
