Bali male beans are a variety of coffee beans, mainly referring to Peaberry or caracoli, while male beans are just Chinese common names.

build reason

The cause of male bean formation has not been scientifically confirmed, and coffee beans known to grow at the end of coffee tree branches are more likely to appear this phenomenon.

divided

Coffee beans are the fruit of the coffee tree. Usually, a single fruit (coffee cherry) contains two coffee beans, which is called Type I (type 1). However, due to the above factors, some fruits will become a single bean when they mature. This oval single coffee bean is called peaberry, which is Type II (type 2). In contrast to Type 2, Type 1 is commonly called "mother bean" by some people. In fact, the two are only differences in growth patterns of coffee beans, not gender differences. Chinese names are misleading.

Flavor and Price

Some coffee lovers believe peaberry has a stronger aroma, coupled with its relatively scarce production, peaberry is sometimes bid up to sell at a high price.

In fact, different coffee bean varieties, peaberry type beans taste different. In addition, the factors that generate peaberry patterns may also be artificially influenced.

All the coffee beans were graded, and the number of times the same batch of coffee beans were repeatedly screened by hand was the main reason for the price differentiation of coffee beans. Male beans coffee needs to be manually selected one by one. In the selection process, the possibility of any broken beans, bad beans and other bad beans has been ruled out. The factors that reduce the quality of bad beans during roasting have been reduced to a minimum. This is the main reason why small production (male beans) and mass production (no picking beans) are not evaluated on the same line. Male beans (round shape) are more uniform than ordinary mixed beans (different sizes, even broken) when baked, eliminating the influence of burnt taste caused by broken beans.

Bali coffee trees grow mostly in the north central elevation of 1000-2000 meters on the mountains,

Because the area is cool and foggy, it is suitable for coffee trees to grow. Bali "Golden Coffee" was born.

I am not very knowledgeable about coffee, but it is also the first time I have heard that coffee has male and female beans.

That is, relatively complete and large, the female is the half we usually see and more slender.

Male beans are scarce, so the price is also different.

Bali's "golden coffee" is a fine ground coffee, taste not sour not astringent, more sweet and bitter, it is memorable
