TODAY’S COFFEES roasted in San Diego on 11/10/23:
BIRD ROCK: Brazil Terra Alta Peaberry, natural process, light roast. WHAT IS A PEABERRY, YOU ASK? Well of course you asked; you’re curious, so here it is: 5-10% of the production of a coffee crop are “peaberries” that occur when just one of the ovules is pollinated, developing a single round coffee seed. These are sorted and separated during the post-harvest in a sieve. Peaberries are uniform in size and density, allowing for a consistent application of heat during the roasting process that translates into a flavorful and desirable cup profile. http://birdrockcoffee.com
