Tanzania Peaberry

So I've had just about every coffee out there from traditional to mushroom to peanut, but not the monkey poo one. So my favorites I've landed on are Kona since I drank it like crazy when I worked at 6am and it just brings me back to that time and just love the taste. The other favorite is Giatemala Antigua because I discovered it while actually in Antigua when I was there to bring hone my daughter we adopted in 2007. Most of guatemala served a sort of Cuban strong brewed coffee or "Cafe con leche" .... coffee with milk.... and they literally poured your cup milk in one hand coffee in the other and it was poured 50/50. It was pretty good since the coffee was strong enough to come through all that milk. I usually take just a little milk in my coffee and that's it. So when we visited Antigua and I tasted the coffee I loved its flavor. I bought several pounds in colorful burlap sacks and brought it home. When we landed on our connector in Dallas Fort Worth.... well I forgot to claim the coffee on my customs slip so I had to stand there while men with assault rifles stood by and soldiers went through my entire luggage with even my dirty underwear for all to see. Lol. Anyhow.... so I still buy it from time to time for many reasons. I have never had Tanzania Peaberry. It might be partly that I just cleaned and descaled my Technivorm Moccamaster but this coffee is just out of site. I tend to lean towards African coffees when I'm taking the emotional aspect out of it like the role it plays with Kona and Antigua. I love the flavor of African... like Ethiopia coffee a lot and this is where I land on taste and smell alone. This Tanzania Peaberry has knocked my socks off. It's gone to near the top of my list. I don't know what it is about the bean or the roast or region or what but I will have to read up on it now. So now I have to find it for a little cheaper. I'll pay $12 for a pound of beans all day and it will be my daily ritual for a long while. Pushing $20 though and I won't pay to drink it everyday. I will say that since the beans are smaller it seems like it takes less in my grinder hopper as I just fill it flush to where it comes out of the recess where the burrs are and typically its above that for other beans. I know that's just in my head though since the beans pack down in there better since they're smaller and well 16 oz is 16 oz no matter what.

Actually good! I usually do pour over and buy beans from a local roaster. Sometimes I just don’t have the time to do this or I’m just feeling lazy. I grind the beans and pop them into my Keurig pod. The flavor is nutty and smooth. The beans were roasted only a month ago, which I was surprised with how fresh they were. It’s a great and simple medium roast. Much much better than any of the cheaper beans I’ve ever bought online or at the store.

This was a new tryout for me. The Nitin Estate peaberry was a nice bean with a good aroma and acidity and a fair price. Maybe it's because I use a Delonghi Magnifica espresso machine to prep my morning cup of cafe au lait but I felt that the flavor lacked "punch" compared with the Kenya AA bean from Ruthagati Co-op that I have used in the past. Is toasting to City roast instead of to Medium roast a possibility?

I tried and loved the Hawaiian peaberry coffee when I was in Hawaii, but the price was too much to order at home. I found this alternative grown in Tanzania and it's delicious. It's low acid and smooth. Makes a perfect cup of coffee in the morning.

I have ordered Tanzania Peaberry in the past. It has always been fine. Not this time. The beans were the correct size. However, they were pale brown and looked very dry, not oily. When I first opened the bag, The aroma was fantastic. I was looking forward to a great cup of coffe. I ground it on medium using my burr grinder; I used a V60 filter; I used 20 g of beans for 320 g of water just off the boil. I bloomed the coffee for 60 seconds using 100g of water; the remaining water was added in two more batches. I know how to make coffee. The first hint of trouble was when I held it to my nose to smell. There was none of the original aroma. The taste was thin, bitter and VERY rancid. I didn't believe it could be that bad. I adjusted the grind, moved to a Melita #2 filter and retried. Same result. It was disgusting. I went back to bag. By now all that lucious original aroma was gone. It now smelled like it tasted. Rancid. It was roasted on 4-11-25. It is now 6-2-25. The beans were not THAT old. If your goal is a smooth cup of coffee with great depth of flavor, stay away. This qickly was eating a hole in my stomach. The Peaberry I get from my local WinCo is fresher and more flavorful. At any price point, much less Volcanica's higher price, the coffee is a rip off.

This coffee tasted sour to me. Volcanica had reached out to me after my purchase, so I emailed them and they indicated that people have different tastes and that was probably what was going on. I gave the coffee to a co-worker who was just getting into drinking good coffee and she loved it - she said it was the smoothest coffee she had ever had. For me, I would have given this a 1 star - it just tasted bad to me. For my co-worker, she would have given this 5 stars - it was that good for her. I think my taste for coffee may be significantly different than other people. I had set my co-worker up with a similar brewing setup as me and we both came up with opposite experiences with this coffee. Overall I think this is probably a great coffee, but not for me.

Absolutely excellent Tanzanian peaberry coffee. An incredible deal too when you compare what are mostly lesser coffees with inflated prices. This is the real deal. What amazing flavor.

I fresh grind my whole bean coffee each morning and use in my French Press. When I first tried this coffee, I was using my pour over method that I had been using for years, and yes, it was a GREAT cup of coffee. Then, my son turned me onto a French Press and I must say, it is as if I tasted coffee for the first time!!! I could truly TASTE ALL of the flavors of this coffee. For years I enjoyed a "hot beverage" in the morning. Now, thanks to God, this new coffee, and my French Press, I am enjoying COFFEE!!! I highly recommend this coffee for anyone looking to take their morning coffee experience to the next and best level!!!

I absolutely love these coffee beans, I normally have milk with my coffee with these I don't need it, the taste is so smooth, yes they are expensive but its definitely worth every penny

Ottimo

Lo compré para hacer un regalo. Lo hemos probado y Está exquisito. Su sabor es intenso pero suave al mismo tiempo.

Super aromatischer leckerer starker Kaffee. Rechtfertig seinen hohen Preis

Per quanto riguarda la consegna - tutto perfetto, il pacco è arrivato in anticipo. La tostatura (secondo me) è più forte che media. Il gusto è insipido, leggermente dolce come un caffè indiano. Nonostante il fatto che ero totalmente consapevole del peso dell'articolo voglio lamentarsi. Qui in europa noi siamo abituati di avere una confezione di caffe in pacco da 125gr, 250gr, 500gr, 1kg, etc; non usiamo le misure di peso in sterlina internazionale avoirdupois. Quindi visto che il caffe e ' sovraprezzato (amazon.com 19$ 1lb) voglio avere o il prezzo diminuito o la confezione da 500gr (CINQUE CENTO).
