Our Seasonal Peaberry has a new origin. This round goes to Zambia, and it showed up bright, clean, and very ready to be noticed.
Expect punchy citrus, sparkling acidity, caramel, molasses, and a lemon-lime snap that gets louder as the cup cools.
Shop Zambia PeaberryZAMBIA PEABERRY HAS ENTERED THE CHAT
This Zambia Peaberry is bright, clean, and easy to keep sipping. It starts with punchy citrus and sparkling acidity, then settles into warmer layers of caramel and molasses.
As it cools, the lemon-lime notes get sharper and more expressive, with a little baking spice and milk chocolate rounding out the finish. Small bean. Big personality. No need to overthink it.
WHAT IS A PEABERRY?
Most coffee cherries develop two flat-sided seeds. A peaberry happens when the cherry develops one smaller, rounder seed instead.
That little round shape can roast a bit differently, and we tend to love what it does in the cup: lively acidity, concentrated sweetness, and a clean, energetic finish.
COFFEE DETAILS
Tasting notes: Lemon-lime. Caramel. Molasses. Baking spice. Milk chocolate.
The cup opens bright and citrusy, then settles into a sweeter base of caramel and molasses. The acidity stays sparkling, especially as the coffee cools, while the finish brings in just enough spice and chocolate to keep things grounded.
FROM KATESHI ESTATE
This coffee comes from Kateshi Estate in Zambia’s Northern Province. Kateshi was established in 1972 near Kateshi village and is one of the country’s early coffee estates.
The lot is washed and sun-dried on patios, giving the coffee a clean foundation for all that citrus, caramel, molasses, and baking spice to show up clearly in the cup.
Kateshi Estate is also Rainforest Alliance Certified and part of a larger operation supporting local water access, schools, healthcare, and employment in the region.
WHY ZAMBIA?
Zambia’s Northern Province has strong conditions for arabica coffee, with useful altitude, proximity to the equator, and room for a range of processing styles.
This particular lot keeps things clean and expressive: washed processing, patio drying, and a peaberry grade that brings a little extra energy to the cup.
Translation: bright citrus up top, warm sweetness underneath, and a finish that does not wander off before the job is done.
