I love coffee and I'm a Gemini, so Peaberry seems to suit me fine!

Thank you to our friends at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for the following defiintion of Peaberry, since some of you have been wondering: Peaberry is a type of coffee bean which is technically a defect. The majority of fruit from the coffee tree contain two halves of a bean in a single cherry, which is called Type I. Due to the vagaries of nature, some fruit mature with only a single fused bean. This oval (or pea-shaped), solo bean is known as Peaberry, or Type II.

Some coffee drinkers feel that peaberry carries a more intense flavor. Because of its rarity it is sometimes known as the "caviar" of coffee and can be sold at a premium. Alternatively, in some regions, it is discarded as an off-grade product.
