Qianjie-introduction of Indonesian coffee male and female beans

The coffee tree itself is independent of male and female trees. Coffee flower is a plant with both stamen and pistil organs, that is, even if there is only one coffee tree in the world, it can grow coffee fruit.

Since it is hermaphroditic, there is no distinction between male and female, coffee trees are not male and female, and coffee beans are naturally not a gender issue. But friends who have been to Indonesia all know that Indonesians will divide coffee beans into male beans and female beans for sale. How is this going on?

The average coffee farmer does not pay special attention to the so-called public beans and will not particularly pick them out for sale, and this difference is really difficult to find if you do not hit or contact directly at the scene of the place of origin. To actually understand the sex of coffee, only when the fruit is removed on the spot during the ripening period of coffee every year, can the male and female be distinguished from the shape of the bean.

Gongdou is a variety of coffee beans, which mainly refers to Peaberry or Tanzania Peaberry, also known as small round beans, while Gongdou is only a common name in Chinese. The common bean can be said to be a flaw in botanical theory, and there are several causes, one of which is that the coffee is damaged by insects before it bears fruit, and it may also be due to the influence of factors such as prolonged drought or uneven nutrition, or coffee beans growing at the ends of the branches of the coffee tree may also have this phenomenon.

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, the color and shape of coffee beans are more plump, and the coffee is boiled with a continuous fragrance and a relatively small quantity. So it is called Dream Coffee.

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. The taste of mother bean coffee is slightly bitter and sour, while the taste of coffee is thick, while that of common beans is mellow and has no sour taste. It is most suitable for people who like the taste of black coffee. In a coffee tree, the yield of public beans accounts for only 5-10% of the total output.

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. Due to the low yield and the manual selection of female beans, the price of male beans is indeed high.

Knowledge: Pacamara is a hybrid of Pacas Pacas and Marago Rippi Maragogype found in El Salvador in 1950.
