If single flower and double ovule pollination, scientific name flat bean, open two beans, it is commonly known as mother bean; if single flower single ovule pollination (gene mutation), the appearance is a round, it is a public bean, the scientific name round bean, the Japanese call it pill bean.

However, what South Island Day wants to share with readers today is not what kinds of coffee beans there are, nor is it to gossip about the secrets of so-and-so coffee farm, but to talk about what kind of beans are the famous "public beans" in Bali, Indonesia.

Due to the differences in climate and environment, the original species of coffee trees are native to the elegant tropics of Africa and some islands in South Asia. At present, there are more than 70 major coffee producing countries in the world, most of which are concentrated in the Americas, Southeast Asia and India near the equator. Naturally, Bali, Indonesia is also one of the producing areas. After visiting Bali, many tourists often buy the famous specialty "gongdou" ─, which is said to be unique to Bali, as a companion gift after the introduction of local tour guides or the search results of online information. what is the origin of these beans?. Is there another kind of "mother bean"?

Readers may know that coffee beans are the fruits of coffee trees. Generally speaking, each coffee fruit (Coffee cherry) contains a group of coffee beans, which can be divided into two petals, and one side of the overall shape is relatively flat. If you put two coffee beans together, you can look like a round fruit. In English, whether it is Arabica, Roberta or a few other varieties of coffee beans, the normal type of seed is called coffee bean. In other words, the single coffee or Italian coffee that is often drunk on the market, basically no matter what kind or which manor, the coffee beans may be big or small, but they are all made in the form of coffee bean (as shown in the picture below).

In English, however, "public bean" is called peaberry, which is a relatively ordinary coffee bean coffee bean. At this point, I don't know if the reader has seen the clue. It turns out that the so-called "─ peaberry" is not a special variety of coffee, still less a classification of the sex of animals and plants, but just another type of coffee beans that are relatively rare. Compared with the above-mentioned coffee fruit commonly known as coffee bean, a small part of the fruit at the end of each coffee tree may only form oval-shaped and unitary beans that cannot be divided into two due to nutrient transport or other uncertain factors. The coffee beans in this "abnormal" state are called peaberry, which may mean "public beans" in Chinese. (South Island Day: well, rare and special beans think they are male, this is really intriguing thinking.

Male bean

Basically, any kind of coffee tree may produce about 5 Murray 10% peaberry, because the production pattern is different from that of ordinary coffee beans, it has to be picked out manually after harvest, and the price has been bid up in recent years because of the low yield. If you are an expert reader or researcher of coffee, you should know that the flavor of coffee is not only related to the degree and method of roasting, but also depends on the variety, origin, manor, and other factors of coffee. As a coffee producer in Indonesia, most of the high-end coffee beans produced by excellent estates in Indonesia have been sent to Europe, the United States and other countries in the world at the first time, or have been bought by chains in large quantities. Or it is possible to export to independent operators in the form of fair trade. And are these peaberry really as delicious and unique as tour guides or merchants say? As mentioned earlier, each different variety of coffee tree can produce peaberry, so peaberry may have different flavors, but is it necessarily better and better than ordinary coffee beans? In fact, this is a matter of opinion. Generally speaking, in the eyes of professional baristas, peaberry will not be directly compared with the general coffee bean, but in South America and Hawaii, there is a hierarchical identification system that specializes in the evaluation of various varieties of peaberry.
