- The Sumatra Peaberry Arabica Coffee is known to be a novelty coffee with good reason. The Peaberry, also known as the caracoli, is a very specific type of bean. Most coffee “cherries” contain two seeds, and they each develop a flat side, but sometimes only one of the two seeds gets fertilized creating a round bean. This pea-shaped bean is known as a peaberry.
- Indonesia was introduced to coffee by the Dutch in the mid-seventeenth century. It is home to the first commercial coffee plantations in the world. The first coffee production sold was in 1712 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Coffee production expanded well during these early days; however, in 1877, the coffee plantations were wiped out by a coffee root disease forcing the country to replant new coffee trees. Most new coffee plants came from Africa and were primarily Robusta Beans, because these were more root disease resistant. Today Indonesia is still a major producer of Robusta Beans. However 10 to 15% of the Coffees produced in Indonesia are Arabica beans. The best growing regions for the Arabica varieties are on the islands of Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, Flores, and Bali. Indonesian Arabica beans are traditionally strong, complex flavored, with a syrupy quality and often a balanced acidity.

That earns a swift and well deserved upgrade from 2 stars to 5!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've been slowly getting into home coffee roasting after a friend with a Nesco home roaster let me sample several of the coffee's he's done, which he's purchased on Amazon from Lavanta. A Kenya blend he had was simply outstanding and sold me that home roasting was something I had to try.
Traditionally, I've always liked Sumatra medium/dark roasts. I purchased Sumatra Peaberry as a way to roast something I was already familiar with from many other coffee companies, hopefully to give me a baseline of how Lavanta's coffee measured up.
I started with an air popper (ghetto garage style) after reading many online reviews, tutorials, and opinions on this process. The roasting process was simple and the beans roasted beautifully. I turned off the popper right as 2C started, and immediately cooled them down to stop the roasting process. Waited 24 hours for them to off-gas and then got ready to try it. The beans smelled great. I used my hand-crank burr grinder to grind them for my AeroPress and the grounds smelled great. I made it in the usual manner and they bloomed right up - or even more so than I expected. First sips were decent, but really didn't blow me away. I finished my cup with mixed feelings, but just figured I could adjust the roast for the next batch.
The next day I went to make another cup of coffee with the same fresh roasted Sumatra Peaberry, and I don't know what happened in the beans, but I literally couldn't finish the cup. It tasted very ashy, and almost...sour?
I tried a couple of other batches of roasts and never had the same experience with it tasting "sour", but never achieved anything other than average-at-best 7-Eleven mini mart style coffee. I had about 1/2 pound left and asked my friend with the Nesco roaster to roast up the last of it so that I could at least compare THAT roast against my air popper roast(s). It was marginally better, but not dramatically at all.
What I thought might have been the result of the ghetto air popper roasting process, I think actually was the batch of beans I had. I don't know if it was the Peaberry beans, or if it's their Sumatra blends in general. I'm not going to give up and want to try at least two other roasts before I give up on Lavanta, but for what it's worth, their Sumatra Peaberry isn't ever worth purchasing again if it continues to taste like that.
Some of the critical reviews state they did not receive true peaberry. From the criticisms I learned peaberry is not a varietal like I always thought it was but a naturally occurring morphology when the coffee cherry develops with one bean instead of two (apparently this happens in all coffee varietals around 5-10% of the time). So I have no idea what varietal from Tanzania this is, but it's quite good!
Peaberries have to be picked out by hand so they're usually more expensive than the non-peaberry version of the same bean. Yet this is one of the more inexpensive Lavanta offerings. And it definitely contains SOME regular beans, I'd guess 2-3%. But considering how much effort goes into sorting, I can't complain!
I always roast as light as I can once the bean flavors (NOT the roast flavor) become prominent. We've been roasting these (in our hot air popper) on average 1:20 after the first crack. We only make pour over with a reusable filter. Delicious. Smooth, earthy, very slightly sweet. Low acidity. This is the only Lavanta offering we've tried (and got it twice we liked it so much).
With a nearby roaster you can explore organic and fair trade versions of their single origin coffees. We don't have that luxury anymore, but we are very happy with this. We're definitely planning on trying their Sumatra Mandheling and Ethiopean Yirggechefe next!
Okay I have made a cup and shared with my sister. We both like it. Ordered a second bag. It quickly overtook the south american coffees in my cupboard. Smoother and easy on my stomach. I see people having roaster issues maybe because these are smallish beans. My trusty iron frying pan has no such issues. Roasted just until they cracked and tried not to get it to dark.
