Caribou to offer rare peaberry coffee
June 25, 2008
MINNEAPOLIS — Caribou Coffee Company Inc. is now offering its exclusive La Minita Peaberry coffee, while supplies last. The company has purchased the entire year's harvest of the high-quality, hand-sorted bean, from the growers at Hacienda La Minita in the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica.
What makes the coffee so special is the peaberry. A normal coffee cherry develops two seeds; however, approximately 7 percent of coffee cherries — the peaberries — develop only one seed. The dense bean produces a pure and delicate sweetness and is one of the finest coffees in the world.
