by union place coffee roasters · rochester, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is tanzanian peaberry, a natural tanzania from union place coffee roasters.
expect bright citrus up front, lemon and grapefruit with a zesty edge, layered over milk chocolate and dark chocolate, with baking spice and spice in the finish. the natural process adds body and sweetness that balances the acidity.
this coffee comes from the kilimanjaro region of tanzania and is processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry dries around the bean before it is milled. peaberries are a naturally occurring single bean rather than the usual two halves inside a cherry.
at medium roast this coffee is flexible, but filter methods like pour over or french press suit it well, letting the citrus brightness and spice notes come through cleanly. avoid very high brew temperatures, around 93 to 95 degrees celsius, to keep the acidity balanced rather than sharp.
