Is there really a difference between male beans and mother beans in taste? The taste of Honduran coffee beans

A coffee fruit usually produces two beans and sometimes one, three or even four beans. Let's focus on the production of a bean. For some reason, the two seeds inside the coffee fruit did not split, and after the initial processing, they showed a complete ellipsoidal granular coffee bean, which we call Peaberry, or Caracoli, that is, the so-called male bean. Many coffee lovers love round beans, but in the actual coffee bean trade, the price of coffee round beans is indeed slightly higher than that of flat beans in the same producing area. So, under what circumstances will lead to the emergence of round beans? First, growing at the tip of a coffee branch may cause round beans to grow in the coffee fruit. Second, prolonged drought or malnutrition or blooming too early and too late lead to the unsound internal development of the coffee fruit. Due to the competition for survival, one bean "eats" another bean, giving birth to round beans. Third, the coffee fruit suffers from diseases and insect pests during its growth, which leads to the imperfect internal development of the coffee fruit and gives birth to round beans.

Male beans and female beans are actually the wrong name, the so-called male beans should be called round beans, and female beans refer to normal beans, but this term is more misleading, because there are no male and female coffee beans. In general, coffee beans have two slices of beans that are semi-oval. Generally speaking, round beans are more easily heated evenly, so it gets half the result with twice the effort when baked, so there is a saying that round beans taste better, and because the number is too small, only a few coffee beans are round beans in an average of 100 coffee beans, so it also means that things are rare. If the raw coffee beans which are all round beans are selected for sale, the price will be one level higher than that of ordinary beans of the same variety.
