Morphology

peaberry = pea + berry (opaque) = pea + berry

The compound suggests something small and round like a pea or berry, but the specific reference to a special kind of coffee bean is not fully predictable.

Etymology

Peaberry is also used for a coffee made from those beans, named because it is brewed from the single, round 'pea'-like seeds that are picked out for a special cup. So a peaberry coffee is one made from those unique round beans.
