Kenyan PB (peaberry) coffee is rare and flavorful, often brighter and sweeter than regular flat beans. Learn what makes it unique.

If you’ve ever wondered why some Kenyan coffees stand out for their vibrant acidity and fruity brightness, you’re not alone. Many coffee lovers are familiar with Kenya AA—but there’s more to Kenyan coffee than just a grade. Among the lesser-known treasures is the peaberry, or PB, a rare mutation that produces a single rounded bean inside the coffee cherry instead of the usual two flat ones. What difference does that tiny change make? Quite a bit, as it turns out.
