The difference between male and female coffee beans

Where does the idea of good coffee beans come from? The theory of male and female coffee beans originated in Indonesia, spread in Taiwan, and ended up in the mainland, and its influence is mainly concentrated in the above three places, so locals in Bali will use public beans as a selling point to sell coffee.

The so-called male bean refers to the special fruit of only one coffee bean in a coffee fruit, because its shape is generally shuttle-shaped, in order to distinguish from ordinary flat coffee beans, it is called round beans (Peaberry), that is, the so-called male beans, and other normal beans are called mother beans. From a botanical point of view, hermaphroditic coffee has no distinction between male and female, so the theory of male and female is only a term coined by businessmen.

The proportion of male beans in coffee beans is generally 5%-8%. According to statistics, most male beans grow on the outside of the crown where they are easily disturbed by external factors, so there is also a saying that male beans are in fact the product of some kind of external force.

In terms of taste, public beans do have richer fat, more mellow taste and more mellow aftertaste, which is the reason why people will go after them. But at present, scientists have no evidence that male beans have more soluble aromatic substances than female beans, but they are just rich in oil, which is also due to the fact that one bean accounts for the nutrients of two female beans.
