Why is Blue Mountain coffee so expensive? are we drinking the real Blue Mountain?

Africa, Arabian Peninsula

This area is the birthplace of coffee and has the most wonderful varieties of coffee. The sweetness of these unique coffee beans varies from supple wine to rich citrus aromas.

Ethiopia: Ethiopia is the origin of the Arabica species (Caffea arabica) and has a special place in the coffee industry. Usually, Ethiopian coffee treated with water is clean and floral, while sun-dried beans are thicker, rich and complex in flavor. Many coffee lovers have a fondness for Ethiopian coffee, especially when they learn that some beans come from the oldest coffee trees in the world, which greatly increases the credibility of Ethiopian origin in their minds.

Kenya: Kenyan coffee is famous for its acidity and enjoys a good reputation for its quality and industry practices. The best local coffee has multiple flavors, rich fruit aromas with berry flavors; the palate is deep and thick, full of aroma, and some varieties even have sweet and wine aromas.

Rwanda: Rwanda has long been a major coffee producer. Recently, due to the tremendous (and sad) cultural and industrial changes, boutique coffee is booming, and Rwanda has become an interesting case in this trend. Compared with Kenyan coffee, the top Rwandan coffee is more balanced, less fruity but still sour, characterized by a floral and sometimes tea-scented finish.

Yemen: if Ethiopia is the home of coffee trees, then Yemen is the birthplace of the coffee industry, from which coffee spreads to all parts of the world. The coffee produced in Yemen is obviously as sweet as musk, but the local process of picking and processing coffee is so rough that it is difficult to find good coffee of high quality.

Island area

In the coffee world, "island" usually refers to Hawaii and the Caribbean. The coffee beans from the region are rich in flavor and thick on the palate, with nutty and earthy aromas; the acidity is supple and the finish is slightly dry. In the early years, the quality and flavor of "island" coffee was praised as the top of the group. However, as the culture of tasting coffee became more and more experimental, a variety of wonderful individual products came into being. High-quality Jamaican and Hawaiian coffee is now no longer exclusive, just two of many stars.

Hawaii: Kona Coffee from Hawaii is almost the representative of the so-called "good" coffee, although there is still some controversy about it. The area has unique environmental conditions, including fertile volcanic soil, adequate sunshine, afternoon shade and frequent showers, which is quite favorable for coffee growth. The flavor of Kona coffee is mild and pure, balanced and smooth, and the really good beans taste rich, mellow and fruity, sometimes with a hint of vanilla.

Jamaica: you may have heard of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, which is regarded as the best in the world, even surpassing the Kenadou of Hawaii. Unfortunately, some producers are known as "Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee", but in fact they only mix a small amount of blue beans with cheap beans. Jamaican coffee tastes warm and thick, the flavor is complex and balanced, some people find it pleasant and charming, others find it insipid and monotonous, and it must be tasted in person to determine whether the reputation and noble price of pure Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee are worthy of it.
