Is there a division of coffee between male and female? Do you prefer coffee, male beans or mother beans? How would you like your coffee made with beans?

My colleagues came back from a trip to Bali and brought back a hand gift coffee to share with you.

'did you bring a male or a female?' Another colleague asked.

I thought they were joking, but my colleague replied cautiously,'of course it's public.'

She shows the coffee beans, which are round in appearance. It is different from the usual semicircle and semicircle.

In some fruits, there is only one bean, which is oval in shape. this is peaberry, commonly known as small round beans.

How do you divide the male and female coffee beans? The coffee beans we are familiar with are called flat bean. The male and female of coffee beans are only the difference in growth pattern, not the real gender difference, so it is misleading to refer to two kinds of beans by male and female in Chinese.

It is said that the common bean is a botanical defect, which usually occurs at the tip of a bunch of coffee fruits due to insufficient transport of nutrients, or because the coffee is damaged by insects before forming the fruit. Some coffee does not deliberately pick out male and female, so you can find male and female beans in a bag of coffee beans. I also take the children on a treasure hunt to see if this is a male or a female.

According to Indonesian parlance, male beans taste better than female beans. I feel that the single product of public beans is not good, and there is no familiar smell of coffee. So I mix it with more soybeans, grind and smash it, and then come to a male and female family.

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.

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. If you are interested in reading germanium for the round bean flavor, you may be able to collect and take a look at this information.

The aroma of coffee comes from a series of complex compounds produced by Mena reaction when coffee beans are roasted. The color of coffee comes from melanoidins, which contains phenolic polymers and polysaccharides. It takes many chemical changes to release special fragrance, acid and bitterness. Wait for the smell, in addition to the different flavor of coffee caused by the varieties of origin, different baking conditions will have different products, even if it is the same kind of beans, changing the degree of frying will produce different flavors. Generally speaking, the lighter the baking, the lighter the color, the stronger the sour taste; conversely, the longer the baking, the darker the color and enhance the bitterness.
