The theory of male and female coffee beans originated in Indonesia.

Chicken has cock hen cent, egg can have male egg female egg cent?

A friend who had just returned from Bali, Indonesia, told me that she had been to Bali and had been recommended male beans by the locals and had taken a cup test on the spot. The male beans tasted significantly better than the female beans. The bar supervisor of a five-star hotel boasted to me that all the beans supplied by their suppliers were male beans and none of them were female beans. Good coffee beans, how does this male and female say come from?

The male and female coffee beans originated in Indonesia, spread in Taiwan, and ended in the mainland. Its influence is mainly concentrated in the above three places, so the locals in Bali will sell coffee with male beans as selling points.

The so-called male beans refer to the special fruit that only produces one coffee bean in a coffee fruit, because its shape is generally shuttle type, in order to be different from ordinary flat coffee beans, so called round beans (Peaberry), that is, the so-called male beans, other normal beans are called female beans. Botanically speaking, monoecious coffee is not divided into male and female, so the male and female are just a term invented by businessmen.

The proportion of male beans in coffee beans is generally 5%~8%, according to statistics, most of the male beans are growing in the outer part of the tree crown is more susceptible to external factors interference, so there is also a saying that the male beans are actually due to some kind of external force under the action of the product.

In terms of taste, male beans do have a richer fat, a fuller taste and a mellower aftertaste, which is why people will go after male beans. However, scientists have no evidence that male beans have more soluble aromatic substances than female beans, just that they are richer in oil, which is also caused by the fact that one male bean takes up two female beans.
