Prized Costa Rican peaberry espresso coffee beans, specially roasted to complement the flavour of our finest Belgian 70% Dark Chocolate. Nuanced and surprisingly velvety, each bite has a satisfying crunch. Perfect after dinner, with coffee, or just on their own. A peaberry is a natural mutation of the coffee bean inside its cherry. Normally coffee beans grow two to a fruit, flat against each other like halves of a peanut, but a funny thing happens in about 5% of the world's coffee, and a bean is born an only child. They tend to be smaller and denser, and taste noticeably sweeter than regular beans. Because there's no way to tell from looking at the cherry itself whether there's a single- or double-header inside, they are often sold for roasting right alongside their normal counterparts. Occasionally, like these, peaberries are hand-selected, making them a relative rarity because of the amount of labour involved. We think their sweet taste is worth the extra effort.
