1.3oz | Kona Peaberry • Medium Roast • Whole bean | 2 Cup Sample

Rare. Naturally Sweet. Packed with Island Sunshine.

Representing only the top 3% to 5% of any harvest, Peaberry is nature’s rarest coffee anomaly. While standard coffee cherries develop two flat-faced seeds, a peaberry forms as a single, dense, oval pearl that absorbs all the nutrients and sugars of the cherry for itself.

Grown in the mineral-dense volcanic soil of the Mauna Loa and Hualālai slopes, our Medium Roast Kona Peaberry strikes the quintessential balance between origin vibrancy and smooth caramelization. It delivers a remarkably clean, velvety cup with bright citrus notes, honeyed sweetness, and none of the bitter edge.

Science-Backed Health Benefits

A medium roast preserves peak levels of delicate bioactive compounds that darker roasts often burn away. Peer-reviewed nutritional and biochemical studies highlight several health advantages to drinking high-grade Arabica coffee like Kona Peaberry:

High Concentration of Polyphenols & Antioxidants:

Coffee is one of the richest dietary sources of chlorogenic acids (CGAs), potent polyphenolic antioxidants. Published research in Nutrients and PMC indicates that CGAs scavenge reactive oxygen species (free radicals), protect cellular DNA from oxidative damage, and reduce biomarkers of systemic inflammation.  

Preserved Bioactivity via Medium Roasting:

Studies examining roast kinetics show that extreme thermal degradation decreases polyphenol levels. A controlled medium roast retains a optimal threshold of beneficial chlorogenic and caffeic acids while completing the caramelization needed for smooth flavor.

Cardiovascular & Metabolic Support:

Clinical meta-analyses published in journals like The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition link regular intake of coffee polyphenols with improved endothelial function, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

Enhanced Focus & Neuroprotection:

Beyond natural caffeine’s role in alertness and adenosine inhibition, long-term studies associated with Frontiers in Neuroscience suggest that the synergy between caffeine and phenolic acids helps support cognitive longevity and neuroprotective pathways.  

Recommended Brewing Methods

Because peaberry beans are naturally rounder and denser, they extract with exceptional balance and evenness:

Pour-Over (Chemex / V60 / Kalita Wave): Highlights the crisp stone fruit, floral aroma, and delicate honey sweetness.

AeroPress: Accentuates the milk chocolate and macadamia nut notes with a silky body.

Cold Brew: Steep coarsely ground peaberry for 16–18 hours for a sweet, low-acid, chocolate-forward elixir.
