Wadi Mahyad Peaberry - Brew Chart & Impressions

Peaberry lots always come in small quantity and necessitate more work at the farm level to isolate those small seeds, but it's so worth it! (not even mentioning that it's an extra revenue stream for farmers).

Usually, a coffee cherry grows 2 seeds inside. A peaberry is when there is only one, smaller seed. This gives a coffee that is higher in acidity but that can offer a beautiful and intricate cup.

This lot is definitely fruity and floral. Beautiful goji berry notes and raspberry flower makes this coffee quite unique and complex.
But this coffee is also lush and sweet, thanks to the candied peach and toffee impressions giving an almost buttery texture.

Natural processing refers to the traditional drying method used in Yemen for the past 5 centuries. Within a few hours of picking, Qima’s processing team collects coffee cherries from the farm gates. The cherries are transported to exclusive in-house facilities for drying and milling to prevent moulding and unintended fermentations from occurring within the fruit. Once received at the facilities, the cherries are placed on traditional raised. African beds, where they are left to dry anywhere between 15-25 days.
Qima’s excellent quality control and management of the post-harvest natural process ensures that the resultant cup carries clean flavours.
