Round beans, commonly known as public beans, is a variety of coffee beans, known as Peaberry in English, also known as caracoli. In fact, round beans can be said to be a defect in theory, and such defects are usually caused by factors such as coffee being damaged by insects before bearing fruit, coffee trees themselves being affected by prolonged drought or uneven nutrition, or coffee beans growing at the ends of the branches of coffee trees are also likely to occur.

Coffee beans are the fruits of coffee trees. Generally speaking, a single fruit contains two coffee beans, which is called Type I (type 1) and generally called Flat bean. However, affected by the above factors, part of the fruit will become only a single bean when ripe, this oval single bean is commonly known as peaberry coffee bean, that is, Type II (type 2), type 1 compared to type 2, some people are commonly known as mother bean, but in fact, the two are only differences in the growth pattern of coffee beans, not gender differences, the Chinese term is more likely to mislead coffee lovers.

Flat beans Type I

Peaberry Type II

Some people are fascinated by male beans, but then again, only heard that flowers have male and female, coffee beans are the seeds of coffee trees, how can there be a difference between male and female seeds? Does the seed of the male bean grow into a male tree, while the female bean grows the female tree? Of course, this conjecture is nonsense; there is no difference between male and female in coffee trees, and each coffee flower has both male and female organs; coffee beans are not male or female, and what you hear is purely a gimmick created by businessmen selling things.

The correct words are "flat bean Flat Beans" and "round bean Peaberry". Under normal circumstances, there are half-divided flat beans (seeds) in a coffee berry, but in a few cases the internal seeds do not split, but a round bean with complete oval particles. Generally speaking, the yield of round beans is about 50% of that of flat beans.

Some coffee drinkers think that peaberry has a stronger aroma, because normal coffee beans should have two seeds, but public bean coffee because one of the seeds is stunted, making the other particularly fat, and because it gets double nutrients, so it tastes better than mother bean coffee. At the same time, it is sometimes sold at a high price because of its rare nature. In contrast, the beans are sometimes classified as defective beans and discarded in different coffee producing areas.

Tanzania Peaberry

At present, there are peaberry beans on the market, and the more famous example is the Kona coffee bean, which is a kind of Kona coffee beans grown in Hawaii. About 5% of the beans are peabry. In addition, about 5% to 10% of the fruits of Tanzanian coffee Tanzania Peaberry also have the peaberry type, and the beans are very small.

In fact, it is not clear whether round beans taste better or not, because different coffee varieties have different tastes of peaberry beans. In addition, the factors that generate peaberry patterns may also be affected by man, so the price orientation of peaberry beans is still a problem.
