Description

We offer specialty-grade green coffee beans providing home coffee roaster aficionados opportunity to personally roast their own coffee at home. Our fresh recent harvest premium beans have great flavor potential if roasted correctly. Coffee roasting has been mysterious in years past with only privileged few learning deep secrets associated with roasting good tasting coffee. In recent years this has changed as many are learning to roast coffee at home. Many begin with basic equipment like; pan on stove, hand-cranked popcorn popper, hot air popcorn popper, heat-gun into stone bowl, basket on grill, many ways to start. It is possible to achieve satisfactory results with basic methods, but soon most new roasters realize there is fine line of time and temperature needed throughout roasting process to fully unlock development of all the bean’s natural delicious nuances. Basically, beans need to be heated to around 400F within 10-15 minutes time, then use fan to cool to room temperature. After this is complete you can grind beans to brew your own home- roasted coffee. Secrets to know: 1-The beans need even-heating from surface to core; this requires stirring or tumbling during roasting. 2-Better taste is found with higher heat in beginning then slowly drawing down heat as roast progresses. 3-Shorter roast times 7-10 min develop higher acidity with greater complexity. 4-Longer roast times 10-15 min develop lower acidity, complexity, with higher body. 5-Fresh current-crop high-altitude-grown coffee beans have more intense flavor complexities. Developing your profile: Determine flavor qualities you want. For higher acidity and complexity create your profile to complete in 10-12 min. Develop the roast evenly surface to core. Adjust time and temp ratios to achieve your own personal taste preferences. If it tastes grassy, it is underdeveloped. If taste is sour, apply greater heat. When roasted correctly coffee should taste sweet, bright, full of delicious flavor complexities.

Always Great Quality From Smok'n
Flavor Name: Brown Sugar Citrus Stonefruit Bing... Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I've bought my body weight in beans from Smok'n Beans. The beans are solid as usual. great quality, no pieces, moldy beans very uniform in size. they roast very nicely. The flavor is a choice thing. I love this bean but I like a mellow medium dark flavor. That's how I roast mine. I drink my coffee black. ... show more

Great flavor if you manage the ideal roast
Flavor Name: Brown Sugar Citrus Stonefruit Bing... Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
Review Image by Jon Ericson Jon Ericson
This review is specifically about the Tanzania Peaberry. As a caveat, I'm new to roasting and I use a cast iron pot rather than a roasting machine. I'll try to separate my failures as a coffee roaster from the product itself. When you think of coffee beans, you probably imagine a boat shape. They are flat on one end, rounded on the other and longer in the direction of the split in the top of the bean. Most coffee fruit (also known as berries) has two seeds. As the berry grows, the twin seeds press against each other and form the flat side of the coffee bean. But a small percentage of berries grow with just one seed. With no twin to push against, the seed grows without a flat side. Thus the peaberry is born. Generally peaberry is sold at a premium because they must be hand-sorted from other coffee beans. They are also considered better tasting then ordinary beans from the same crop. Exactly why depends on who you ask, but the two theories are: 1) more flavor is retained by the single bean and 2) peaberries roast better than regular beans. My experience suggests the later. Peaberries tend to be smaller than regular coffee beans. Since it's relatively easy to sort beans by size, selecting smaller beans is a good first step to separating peaberries. But smaller-than-normal regular beans will also be filtered at the same time as the peaberries. If you really want just the peaberries, you'll need to hand sort this coffee yourself before roasting. I don't fault the seller for not doing this since most of the beans are peaberry and hand sorting would increase the cost. I found that the smaller beans means there isn't much time from under- to over-roasted. Once I hear the first crack, I need to be ready to pull the beans off the heat and air cool them. For me, this coffee has a harsh taste if too lightly roasted and I'm not a fan of coffee roasted on the edge of burnt. Medium roast produces a fantastically smooth coffee that I enjoy. One of the difficulties is that the flat side of regular beans tends to remain in contact with the bottom of the pot. That means the regular beans mixed in with the peaberries burn on one side while the rest of the beans are still under-roasted. I've posted an image of two unroasted beans and two beans from my most recent batch that came out perfectly. You can see the peaberry has nicely browned, but the regular bean is blackened. It's likely the two types of beans crack at different times, which can be confusing. (It might not be clear without a reference item, but these are tiny beans compared to what you'd normally buy.) I estimate that less than 1 in 10 of the bean in my batch had a flat side. For me it's not worth sorting them out. (Though it might be interesting to do for science.) The amount of burning is trivial and the results remain excellent . . . if I time the roast correctly. ... show more

Excellent coffee from a great company.

The Tanzania Peaberry from Smokin Beans is an excellent coffee from a great company. I enjoy the rich full body flavor with low acidity. I have bought several varieties of beans from Smokin Beans. They have always delivered a quality consistent product. The price is on par with other companies on Amazon. The delivery time is a little longer than other companies, but it’s worth the wait. ... show more

Very nice! Butterscotch, cherry, and ginger taste. Some of the beans are slightly unusual in shape, so if that drives you crazy, you've now been put on notice. But it's lovely, lovely coffee and I shall be buying it again!

Decent
Flavor Name: Brown Sugar Citrus Stonefruit Bing... Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
It’s not the best coffee but it is good ,also take into consideration that I’m not a barista nor an experienced coffee roaster. Decent value however not all of the contents were peaberries, in a small handful there were 14 non peaberries. I understand though something like that is trivial and would drive the cost up to get it perfect . Still trying to dial in my preferred roast level and grind with this coffee before deciding to order again when I run out or find something else. ... show more

Great Coffee, Bad Bag

Review Image by Thomas Zessman Thomas Zessman
Coffee is quite good. I was only unhappy with the packaging. As I slid the bag from the burlap sack, it burst forth green beans all over my kitchen. As the photo shows, the inner bag just split up the left seam. I recovered most of it, but this coffee was poorly packaged. Meh, but forgivable.
