Understanding the Unique Indonesian Coffee Beans
Indonesia is home to some of the world’s most unique and flavorful coffee beans. Two of the most talked-about varieties in the specialty coffee world are Peaberry and Longberry. But what exactly are they, and how are they different?
What is Peaberry Coffee?
Peaberry is a rare coffee bean mutation where only one rounded bean grows inside the cherry instead of two. This unique shape is believed to allow more even roasting and a more concentrated flavor.
- Shape: Small, round, dense
- Taste Profile: Brighter acidity, full-bodied, smooth finish
- Availability: Only 5-10% of total harvest
- Origin: Available in Indonesian Arabica, especially from Gayo Highlands
What is Longberry Coffee?
Longberry refers to coffee beans that are longer and slimmer than typical beans. They’re often linked to heirloom varieties and are prized for their elegant taste and high altitude origin.
- Shape: Long, narrow, flat
- Taste Profile: Floral, tea-like, complex aroma
- Rarity: Often single-origin and less mass-produced
- Origin: Found in select micro-lots in Gayo, Ethiopia-style strains
Peaberry vs Longberry: Which Should You Choose?
It depends on your taste and purpose. Peaberry is perfect for espresso lovers who enjoy a fuller body and brighter cup. Longberry, on the other hand, is a favorite among slow coffee lovers who appreciate floral notes and complexity.
