Male bean is a variety of coffee beans, which mainly refers to Peaberry or caracoli, also known as small round beans. And gongdou is just a common name in Chinese. The common bean can be said to be a flaw in botanical theory, and there are two causes, one of which is that coffee is damaged by insects before forming fruit, and it may also be due to the influence of factors such as prolonged drought or uneven nutrition of coffee trees, in addition, coffee beans growing at the ends of the branches of coffee trees also have the opportunity to appear this phenomenon.

How to tell the male from the female of coffee beans? The method is very simple and has something to do with the appearance of coffee beans. After peeling off the peel and pulp, the coffee raw bean is divided into two halves, just like a split peach. This is the mother coffee. If it is round and full, it is called public coffee. It is said that public coffee tastes better, but because the quantity is too small, only one coffee bean in every 100 coffee beans is male. This is one of the more interesting coffee knowledge.

Generally speaking, coffee growers are not particularly singled out to sell, and this difference is really difficult to find if you do not directly hit or contact the scene of the place of origin. Every May is the maturity of Brazilian coffee, and it is time to actually understand the gender of coffee. As the saying goes, things are scarce, but of course coffee is expensive for the public. What is "public bean coffee"? Shen Nianzu, who has studied coffee deeply for many years, says that in normal coffee trees, when the fruit is ripe, there is no distinction between the male and the female. Only by peeling away the fruit can you see the shape of the beans inside. The round ones are the male beans and the flat ones are the mother beans. Public beans are called Peaberry in English and small round beans in Chinese. In a coffee tree, only 5% are male beans, and the rest are female beans.

Public beans are called Peaberry in English and round beans in Chinese. In a coffee tree, only 5% are male beans, and the rest are female beans. In fact, male beans are deformities that occur during the growth of coffee beans. In general, coffee beans have two pieces of beans, but there is only one piece of beans, which is also known as a single bean. A piece of beans absorbs more nutrients, and the color, shape and particles of coffee beans are relatively large. The fragrance of boiled coffee is constantly sweet, and the quantity is relatively small, so it is also known as Dream Coffee. Both domestic and foreign brands of coffee are in demand in the market.

However, because the number is too small, only a few coffee beans are male beans in an average of 100 coffee beans. Generally speaking, coffee growers are not particularly singled out to sell, and this difference is really difficult to find if you do not directly hit or contact the scene of the place of origin. Of course, there are individual merchants who will sell public beans. But as the saying goes, things are rare and expensive, and of course coffee is more expensive than beans.

The male bean is slightly smaller in size and shaped like a jujube. The size of mother bean is larger than that of male bean, and its appearance is semi-jujube-shaped. Mother bean coffee taste slightly bitter, sour, coffee taste heavy, need to add a partner or milk to drink. Public beans taste mellow, there is no sour taste, like black coffee taste, male beans are the most suitable. In a coffee tree, the yield of public beans accounts for only 5-10% of the total output.

Male bean coffee is picked out one by one from the mixed coffee beans. Most of the coffee powder sold in the market is a mixture of public beans and mother beans.

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.

At present, there are peaberry beans on the coffee chain market. 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 type. 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.
