A coffee plant produces a fruit that is known as the coffee cherry. These fruits ripen and turn red much like the other cherry fruits we know. When you break open a coffee cherry you will generally discover two seeds inside the fruit. The two seeds grow closely together and they press against each other making a flattened surface on part of each seed.

Sometimes a coffee cherry has only one seed inside. That one seed is known as a ‘peaberry’. The peaberry seed is said to make a better tasting cup of coffee because the one seed got to absorb all of the nutrients and flavors that the coffee cherry produced. Instead of the good qualities being divided between two seeds, the peaberry gets all the great aspects.

How Can I get the most Flavor from Tanzanian green coffee beans?

The best way for you to get the maximum amount of flavor from your green coffee beans from Tanzania is for you to purchase no more coffee beans than you can use in a one year time period.

You will also want to buy green coffee beans and grind them for yourself because once a coffee bean has been put through a grinder it will begin to lose flavor. The older the ground coffee gets the less flavor that it has.

If you desire roasted coffee then it is best for you to buy the green coffee beans and roast them yourself if you want the freshest flavor possible. When a coffee bean has been through the roasting process it naturally begins to lose some of its flavor and aroma. In order to get the most from your Tanzanian coffee you will want to buy green beans within a few months of their harvest, roast and grind those beans yourself, and do not store ground coffee, but grind the amount you need for your daily brewing purposes.
