What are the coffee beans you've been reluctant to drink? Is this rare and precious Jamaica national treasure Blue Mountain No.1 coffee beans (Wallenford), I think many people know Blue Mountain coffee, but most drink is the "blue mountain flavor" coffee, and the real blue mountain coffee taste is much different, and the chance to play and taste the real blue mountain coffee beans is very rare, I am very glad that my friend is willing to share some to me, also have the opportunity to have a good taste.

This is the rare national treasure blue mountain No.1 coffee beans, producing area Wallenford.

Speaking of the Blue Mountain coffee beans, many people may not think there is anything special. The coffee in the convenience store is Blue Mountain flavor, which is not strange at all. Indeed, the blue mountain flavor coffee is not strange at all. The price is cheap and can be bought everywhere. But the real top blue mountain coffee is mostly in the hands of Japanese manufacturers, and the quantity is small and not easy to obtain. A barrel of 30 kilograms of blue mountain coffee costs more than 20,000 yuan. A pound of roasted blue mountain coffee beans can only be bought for 600 yuan, so it is easy to imagine how many children have to run away from a coffee shop to drink a cup of blue mountain coffee, so this time I have the opportunity to play blue mountain raw beans and baking. I really want to thank my friends very much for their hospitality. After all, I didn't spend the money and played with beans. I'm really sorry not to say a few more thanks.

In terms of appearance, the head of the blue mountain coffee bean is much bigger than the average coffee bean. You can refer to the big bean on the right of the picture below. That big coffee bean is the blue mountain coffee bean. The aroma of blue mountain coffee beans is a little faint after roasting. After several days of cultivation, the place where coffee beans are stored will be filled with a faint aroma of flowers and fruits. After the bean grinder is finished, the aroma of roasted orange peel will appear in the air, which is quite charming. Just smelling the aroma of coffee powder can make people imagine that someone is waving and urge the temptation to come and drink it quickly.

The characteristics of Blue Mountain coffee beans are much bigger than ordinary beans. The right side of the picture is Blue Mountain, and the others are general coffee beans with a lot of difference in size.

When I drank Blue Mountain Coffee for the first time, I used the Saifeng kettle to brew and taste it. After drinking it, I could never forget the unique aroma and the coffee taste with the color of red wine, so when I got home, I decided to use espresso to stimulate the potential taste of Blue Mountain Coffee beans more thoroughly. This time, in order to have a good taste, we use a red wine cup instead of the traditional small espresso cup, in order to retain more aroma of coffee for a good taste. In fact, this method is very similar to the method of tasting red wine, which makes the taste of coffee more concentrated and easier to smell different levels of coffee aroma.

After smelling the coffee, then tilt sideways like drinking red wine, shake the glass, follow the perspective of the light, and enjoy the color with purple luster. After another sip of coffee, in addition to the aroma, immediately felt is not bitter, completely not bitter and full of fruit sour coffee, this acid is very smooth and soft acid, this sour taste is a bit like the kind of sweet and sour when eating dried cranberries, is very close to the charming fruit acidity of eating fruit, even if the coffee is cold, it will not produce too much unacceptable acidity, instead, it is a bit like Luoshen flower tea. Therefore, this sour coffee is in line with the preferences of people who like sour coffee, and it is no wonder that Japanese manufacturers will go out of their way to buy it, creating a high market price.

Finally, frankly, I would like to say that although the coffee beans are not easy to obtain and expensive, the taste is good, and the sour, sweet and mellow performance is also very uniform, if compared with the price, one pound of blue mountain beans can buy at least 6 pounds of good manor coffee beans, but the taste is not as much as 6 times as much as that of other personalities. Whether it is worth spending so much money on rare blue mountain coffee beans depends on personal preference. At least, I think that no matter the amount of money, you must taste it before you enjoy it. After tasting it, you will enjoy drinking other delicious fresh coffee beans. Fresh and carefully selected coffee beans are king, just like eating sashimi. As long as they are fresh and carefully selected ingredients, even if they are inexpensive, the delicious ones will not lose the precious bluefin tuna Gill meat at all.

The blue mountain coffee is brewed into espresso and then tasted extravagantly with a red wine glass. The color, aroma and taste of the blue mountain can be felt at the same time.
