Qianjie-Coffee male and female introduction

PB is the full name Peaberry, also known as caracoli. That is, we often say round beans, usually there are two seeds in a coffee fruit, that is, our common coffee beans, one side is curved, the other is flat, similar to peanut shape, we call it flat beans; round beans are only one coffee bean in a coffee fruit, the shape of the bean is oval, accounting for a very small proportion in the fruit of the whole coffee tree.

Round beans can be said to be a defect in theory, and such defects are usually caused by factors such as insect damage to coffee before fruit is formed, prolonged drought or uneven nutrition in the coffee tree itself. or coffee beans growing at the ends of the branches of coffee trees are also likely to occur.

The industry has not given a clear conclusion on the quality of round beans. Some people think that round beans are not as good as flat beans, while others think that round beans concentrate the nutrients of two beans on one bean, which contains more substances, so it tastes better. The individual has not made any analysis and comparison on this, but it is conceivable that round beans can be selected artificially, and the overall quality is guaranteed, so it is not surprising that they taste better.

In fact, coffee flower is a plant with both male and female organs, belonging to the family Rubiaceae. The coffee bean itself is the core seed of the coffee fruit before it is roasted. It can grow on its own after falling into the soil, even if only one tree can grow the coffee fruit.

In fact, the coffee tree itself is not divided into a male tree and a female tree.

Since it is hermaphroditic, there is no difference between male and female trees, and naturally there should be no difference between male and female beans. Furthermore, the original English word of "Gongdou" is "Peaberry" or the abbreviation "PB", but it is not called "Male Beans". The word "Gongdou" is just a common name in Chinese. in fact, he has another name, "Yuandou".

Knowledge: coffee roasting is a process that produces Mena reaction and caramel reaction inside raw beans, producing more wonderful flavors.
