Polish Horse Peaberry Selection – Trojan edition

Polish Horse Espresso Blend Peaberry Selection

This coffee was created for brewing in espresso machines. The blend includes pearl-shaped beans called peaberry. These beans make up about 2% of the total coffee harvest. They are tiny (resembling little pearls in shape), but more susceptible to heat processing.

A typical coffee cherry normally contains two beans, with their flat sides facing inward. Peaberry beans form through a natural mutation or defect inside the cherries when one ovule is not pollinated. This leaves extra space for a single developing seed, which grows into a larger, rounder bean. Peaberry beans are usually sorted and separated after harvesting. They are separated by size using a sieve or, alternatively, an advanced machine that sorts by weight and size.
