Kenya Yellow Diamond Peaberry

Produced by Habil Olaka on his Western Kenya farm, Yellow Diamond, this vibrant and fruity single origin coffee is what is known as a peaberry: a rare, natural coffee mutation with an oval shape, rather than flat.

Peaberry coffee is a personal favorite of our Head Roaster Michelle, who finds them fun to roast as their oval shape leads to a very even roast on all sides.

Origin Story

Habil Olaka

Habil Olaka moved his family out to Western Kenya to get away from the city, and back to his roots. They started farming corn and chickens, flowers and honey. The shift to producing coffee provided the family a chance to address problems posed by their other crops—theft through all stages of production, and soil fertility issues. Together they started learning about coffee, hiring top agronomists and improving their processing. Expansion of their coffee production has created job opportunities and provided income for local residents employed at the estate. The farm uses an integrated approach, incorporating practices like beekeeping to support pollination and the use of composted coffee husk and chicken manure to enrich and amend the soil. The farm provides a place to train the local community in coffee production in an effort to expand their impact on the community. ‘Yellow Diamond’ is a reference to something that is rare and valuable—to Habil, that means family, land, and what the two can produce together.

Why We Love This Coffee

Normally coffee cherries contain two seeds that develop with flattened facing sides, but sometimes only one of the two seeds is fertilized, and the single seed develops with nothing to flatten it. This oval bean is known as peaberry. Our Head Roaster, Michelle F., notes that these charmingly shaped coffee beans are fun to roast. She feels that they roast very evenly, as their shape is more uniform, and they roll through the rotating drum of the coffee roaster differently than the traditional flat-sided beans.
