Peaberry is the name of a physical trait of the coffee bean. Peaberry beans often grow on the ends of the coffee tree branches and are characterized by their round shape, as opposed to the flat face of the regular bean. An estimated 5% of all coffee beans are peaberry type. Cherries containing peaberry types yield only one bean, versus a two bean yield in the regular type. Peaberry coffee beans are also slightly smaller than the regular ones and possibly denser than the latter. The rarity of this bean type, its distinct quality and round shape (this favors a more even roasting) makes peaberry coffee a special and uncommon coffee experience. Those that enjoy peaberry roasts speak of its sweetness, bright acid notes and complex tastes in cup.
At Café Don Luis, this unique bean trait comes together with their notable zeal and care for the entire coffee production process to bring you an exceptional experience of a first grade artisan coffee.

We bought a Variety Pack and loved them all. One of our favorites was El Mañanero. We kept buying it based on aroma, taste and price. We were also impressed that it arrived to Texas so quickly. We enjoy it first thing in the morning and then we face the challenges of life.
I truly love this coffee, in my top two easily… the aroma and the flavor is amazing . So much body and fruits flavor with the smoothness in the end … I usually drink it in double espresso and the experience of a great and fresh quality coffee is enjoyable in every sipping..
If the coffee is good and not bitter I like it black, this meets those requirements. My wife like it light with cream or milk, but we love this one. 2nd order.
I visited PR last month and brought Cafe Oro for the first time and absolutely loved it! I was so happy to find this website that would send it to the states mainland. Also, they have great prices and fast shipment. Puerto Rico Coffee Hub definitely has my business for future shipments.
I can honestly say there had not been a brand of PR coffee that we have tried that we have not enjoyed. I love the bundles and their prices are fantastic.
