The giant elephant bean (Maragogype) is a variety of Tibica (Arabica native bean); its tree, leaves and fruit are much larger than the average Arabica.

First, let's take a look at the usual measurement methods in the coffee industry.

The industry describes the size of raw coffee beans as a unit of 64 inches.

The international practice of the size of the class distance between 9: 22

The score represents the diameter of the screen; the bean order is the molecule. If the bean order is large, the molecule is big; if the bean order is small, the molecule is small.

The big raw bean at 1:16 refers to the coffee raw bean that can pass through 17 inch 64 (inch) but get stuck in 16 inch 64 (inch) mesh diameter (diameter) sieve.

The big raw bean at 2:18 refers to the coffee raw bean that can pass through 19 inch 64 (inch) but get stuck in the 18 inch mesh 64 (inch) diameter (diameter) screen.

Converted to metric system, 17 eyes are 6.75mm, 18 eyes are 7mm, 19 eyes are 7.5mm. Do you know the size of raw beans more clearly?

Let's put aside the difficult math problems and take a look at the real world. Take Colombia, which attaches great importance to raw bean size as a coffee grade standard, as an example, the top coffee bean (that is, the largest raw bean) is Supremo, and the evaluation standard is 17-18 mesh size. [aroma] the imported giant elephant beans are 98% in size more than 20 mesh. In other words, Colombia is far better than Supremo.

Rare quantity and high price have always been the fate of boutique coffee beans. Compared with the giant elephant beans with less output than other varieties, it is self-evident that the price of its high-quality beans is high.

Like the elegant taste of Blue Mountain Coffee, full of sweetness, milk chocolate, middle nutty aroma

The giant elephant beans, which grow above 1500 meters above sea level, are sweet and charming, with strong aroma. In addition to the eye-catching shape, the fruit is full, the bean is hard, and it has a mild classic flavor. It is also the only coffee without sharp acidity in Central America. Therefore, it enjoys the reputation of the Central American Blue Mountain, and its taste is very thick. High altitude plus shade planting method, the fruit ripens for a long time, the result is less, nutrients are concentrated, and the flavor is natural.

The development is complete.

The reason why it is called giant elephant beans, because its volume is 2-3 times the size of ordinary coffee beans, only the volume of Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1 coffee can be comparable; but also because of low production capacity, production is quite rare, long-term Japanese love and rush to buy, its clear taste, excellent aroma and caffeine content is very low, despite the high price is still loved by coffee gluttons.
