Peaberry?

I am by far no expert in this (or coffee) in general but my understanding is that it is coffee bean in which only one seed (bean) germinates making it a rounder. I believe this can happen to many different types of coffees so I assume the flavor will be representative of the type of coffee the bean comes from. Im sure some of thecoffee connoisseur can answer this better than me, but i hope thats a start.

For many years, peaberry coffee was viewed as a defect. Not anymore. It's a bean that has all of the sweetness rolled into one.

Sorry your experience was not rewarding. There are plenty of others that offer peaberries. Don't shut them out after one bad experience. The Macanudo on the other hand....well.....
