I fell in love with the coffee I have been drinking this week. Its Trader Joe's Peaberry blend coffee. My coffee palate has either been refined by the vast quantities of coffee I have been drinking recently or by an adverse reaction to the dishwater we've been brewing at work recently. My body may be telling me to pay attention to the coffee I pour down my throat as a result of the rancid brew we make at work (think Orson Well's description in 1984).

Anyways, I got curious about what made my coffee so good. Here's what I learned about peaberry coffee. Peaberry coffee is the result of a coffee bean only producing a single bean. The single bean is smaller and rounder than the typical bean. There are mixed reviews in the coffee world on peaberry grades of coffee. Some think the single bean received all the love and attention a normally double bean would receive. Others think the peaberry is a runt. I don't care either way. The coffee brewed today from the peaberry blend of beans was delicious.

One more reason for me to like the peaberry coffee blend. There is a mythology that goes along with the bean. It is referred to as the bachelor bean and has insinuations of being a virile coffee.

I want to say the peaberry blend we bought was Ethiopian, but I can't say for certain.
