Characteristics.

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is made from the best local raw coffee beans, which is the official pleasure of tasters. Its flavor is rich, balanced, fruity and sour, and can meet people's various needs. In addition, the high-quality fresh Blue Mountain coffee has a long-lasting flavor, as drinkers say, with a lingering aftertaste. The best blue mountain coffee beans are NO.1peaberry, also known as pearl beans, which are carefully selected small round beans and boutique products at an altitude of 2100 meters.

Flavor: the aroma is very full-bodied, with persistent fruit flavors. Granule: fuller suggested roasting method: the caffeine content of moderately roasted Blue Mountain coffee is very low, less than half of other coffee, in line with modern people's concept of health. The same coffee tree species, whether planted in Hawaii, Kenya, Papua New Guinea or anywhere else with a similar climate, cannot produce the flavor of blue mountain coffee beans. Pure Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee perfectly combines the unique sour, bitter, sweet, mellow and other flavors of coffee to form a strong and attractive elegant flavor, which is unmatched by other coffee.

People who love Blue Mountain Coffee say: "it is a 'coffee beauty' that combines all the advantages of good coffee." Jim, general manager of Pitt, which is famous for its coffee and tea business in the United States, said of Blue Mountain Coffee: "it tastes fragrant, smooth and mellow, and it makes me feel as precious as a gem. It is precisely because the taste of Blue Mountain coffee is moderate and perfect, so Blue Mountain coffee is generally drunk in the form of black coffee. " Its liquid is golden in the sun and tastes smooth. According to the coffee book, Blue Mountain is the only bitter and sour coffee in the world that people can enjoy. Just drink it.

Purchase of Blue Mountain Coffee beans

In the early years, there were no formal import channels in China, and Blue Mountain, which was already relatively rare, was even more rare in China. It was a matter of forcing the blue mountain coffee beans to drink a cup of blue mountain coffee beans. As a result, "Blue Mountain coffee beans in domestic cafes are all fake" and "Blue Mountain coffee beans cannot be bought domestically" have even spread to this day. However, even in the days when there were no formal channels, the blue mountain coffee beans consumed in the Chinese market still accounted for 15% of the world's total consumption. so much so that Jamaicans were so surprised that they almost dislocated their jaw (probably mainly because of the price of blue mountain coffee beans in the Chinese market.), so they began to pay attention to the Chinese market, and now it is not difficult to buy blue mountain coffee beans in China. Hangzhou Dan Shirui is the sole agent. The channel is not limited to this one. There are both private channels and cooked beans imported through a third country.

To identify blue mountain coffee beans, those with retail packaging can generally be distinguished from CIB certified logo and Jamaica Blue Mountain ®trademarks. UCC Blue Mountain is not logo is also reliable, there are certification logo and trademark, you can go to the CIB official website to check whether this company has CIB authorization. Certificate of origin can be checked for bulk ones, because bulk ones are generally sold from 70kg barrels, each barrel will be accompanied by a certificate of origin.

As for the purchase channels, they are as follows:

1. Buy UCC blue mountain coffee beans, UCC is very awesome, do not play CIB certification logo still sell, later will say the reason. The disadvantage is that although it is sold in China, it is not common, it is best to find someone to buy from the mud boom or their own daily Amoy, UCC Lanshan No. 1 Taobao purchasing agent price will not be lower than 400RMB per 100g, previously bought in Hong Kong UCC vacuum bag 250g Blue Mountain coffee bean powder (lower grade), 170HKD or so.

two。 Find a reputable shop to buy in bulk, on Taobao, in order to avoid the suspicion of advertising, not to mention the shop name, the same grade bean price is only 1/4 of UCC, the disadvantage is that it depends entirely on the reputation of the boss, to put it bluntly, there is no guarantee.

3. Looking for a regular agent, that is, Dan Shirui mentioned above, the price of beans of the same grade is similar to that of UCC.

4. Human flesh can climb over the wall, such as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. If you are far away, you can go directly to Jamaica. Hong Kong AEON can buy UCC Blue Mountain (not Blue Mountain No. 1, not UCC Blue Mountain Synthesis, I have looked for it on Taobao, but not like this), and Central TATA Coffee can buy beans with certificates (called birth paper in Hong Kong).

5. Looking for a coffee trading company to buy raw beans, the advantage is that the price is extremely high (relative to ripe beans.) Cheap, per kilogram of Lanshan No. 1 raw bean price can be less than 500 (quantitative ah quantitative!), the disadvantage is, not a few tens of kilograms of birds do not bird you, it is recommended to trench to a bucket, each barrel of 70Kg, with certificate of origin oh dear! A bucket can make more than 6000 cups. Oh, honey! The shelf life of raw beans is one year, dear! Finish it within a year, honey! Drink 16 cups of water a day without pressure, dear! Let's join the roaster.

With regard to price, the price and channel of domestic blue mountain coffee beans are quite chaotic, the high price fried in the early years can not come down, the price difference of the same grade raw beans and cooked beans is 10 times, and the low level sells the top price. In addition to formal agents, other messy channels, Gaza a variety of "Blue Mountain flavor", "Blue Mountain deployment" is also muddling the water. No wonder many people question the 89 yuan Blue Mountain.
