Roasted coffee beans, ground coffee, and instant coffee in paper bags.
A peaberry is a unique type of coffee seed found within the fruit of the coffee plant, known as a coffee cherry. While a typical coffee cherry contains two seeds positioned flat against each other, approximately 5 percent of cherries contain only a single, round seed.12
Because of this singular development, peaberries are smaller and denser than standard coffee beans. Many enthusiasts and producers believe that these beans produce a sweeter and more flavorful cup of coffee compared to their two-seeded counterparts. Once harvested, these seeds undergo the same processing methods—such as the dry, wet, or semi-washed techniques—before they are ready for roasting.12
