Green Bean l Peaberry

A typical coffee cherry contains two beans pressed together, each with a flat side. Occasionally, only one bean develops inside the cherry. Without another bean pressing against it, it grows into a fully rounded shape. This is known as peaberry, commonly called kopi lanang in Indonesia. Peaberries make up only a small percentage of each harvest and must be separated through size sorting, which is why they generally command a higher price than regular beans.

This lot is a Peaberry from Arul Badak, Central Aceh, grown at an altitude of 1,450–1,600 meters above sea level. It features the Ateng Super variety and is processed using the Semi-Wash method. Its flavor profile leans toward plum, chocolate, and orange peel.

A technical note for roasters: The rounded shape allows peaberries to tumble more freely inside the roasting drum, potentially promoting more even heat transfer. Avoid using exactly the same roasting profile as you would for flat beans.

POTENTIAL NOTES

Plum | Chocolate | Orange Peel

We write potential notes, not tasting notes. This is green coffee, not roasted coffee. What ultimately ends up in the cup depends on your roasting profile. We simply provide a starting point.

EVERY LOT GOES THROUGH QUALITY CONTROL

Origin, grade, processing method, moisture content, density, and defect count. We inspect, store, and record every lot.

Coffee is not magic. Coffee is a process, and processes can be tested.

TRIPLE PICK QUALITY ASSURANCE

Why Is Our Green Bean More Reliably Sorted?

Most marketplace sellers claim Grade 1 quality based on just one round of coarse machine sorting. At Coffest Roastery, we apply three stages of physical purification:

1 // Suton Machine

Filters out foreign objects such as stones, twigs, dust, broken beans, and silverskin that may have passed through from earlier processing stages.

2 // Optical Sorting Machine (SORTEX)

Uses modern optical sensor technology to eject black beans, sour beans, and beans damaged by insect bites.

3 // Hand Sorting (Manual Picking)

Our expert team performs the final manual inspection to remove fungus-damaged beans and ensure that defects are reduced to nearly zero.

The drying process uses indirect sunlight through a greenhouse system to help preserve the coffee’s optimal flavor characteristics.
