So what exactly is male coffee?

The male bean is a variety of coffee beans, mainly referring to Peaberry or caracoli, while the male bean is just a common name in Chinese. In botany theory, the male bean can be said to be a defect. There are two causes: one is because the coffee is damaged by insects before it bears fruit, and the other is because the coffee tree is affected by factors such as drought or unbalanced nutrition. In addition, coffee beans growing at the end of the branches of the coffee tree also have the opportunity to appear this phenomenon.

Normal coffee tree, fruit maturity is not divided into male beans, female beans, to open the fruit, can see the shape of the beans inside, peel and pulp of the coffee beans, if it has been divided into two halves, like open peach, this is the female coffee, if round a whole, called male beans.
