Set apart from the rest...
Peaberry coffees are super unique; they exist due to a genetic defect that causes only one instead of the typical two seeds to grow inside a coffee cherry. They may muddle the flavors of the main crop when left to co-mingle, but after being sorted out and isolated with other Peaberry seeds they present a wonderful and unique offering from the same plants and crop that the producers have so carefully cultivated.

Nate met Peter Kuria in the summer of 2021 when Peter stopped by our roasting facility one afternoon to introduce himself. Peter's family has been farming coffee in Nakuru Kenya since 1983, and has recently expanded their operation into exporting their coffees to the states. Now, they help neighboring farmers mill and sort their coffees and are working towards helping their community gain access to better markets and higher prices. Every year we buy more coffee from Peter than we were able to the year prior as we continue to strengthen the economic ties between our communities.
