Blue Mountain Coffee (Blue mountain) is probably the most famous single-origin coffee, and it has a long history. It can be said that you have heard of Blue Mountain Coffee even if you have never tasted boutique coffee. Why does it feel strange to apply the pig walking formula? )

But I think there may be less than 5000 people who have actually drunk Blue Mountain Coffee (of course, there may also be a very high proportion of people who drink it repeatedly). With the long history of Blue Mountain, on average, only a few hundred people have actually drunk Blue Mountain every year.

Blue Mountain Coffee

I don't know if anyone will think: wow-so few people have drunk it, so Blue Mountain Coffee is really super precious, so I must drink it.

The editor asks you to clarify your ideas, of course, scarcity is precious, and coffee is no exception, but expensive does not really mean good; and the reason why it is scarce, if it represents that fake goods are rampant in the market, so it is difficult to find the real ones, then I am afraid the truth that you insist on drinking and seeing is that

Truth 1: you spend a lot of money to drink real crap.

Truth 2: you spent a lot of money drinking fakes

Truth 3: you didn't spend much money to drink fakes.

The above three truths... I can only say ironically, I'm afraid Truth 3 is more enjoyable, at least it costs less money.

So, if you are a boutique coffee beginner and have unlimited reverie and longing for Blue Mountain, that is, you want to drink the legendary number one coffee in the world, then I suggest you at least reduce your chances of drinking fake or bad goods in the following ways

1. Almost all the blue mountains sold in large channels are fake, generally confusing consumers with words such as blue mountain flavor, blue mountain impression, blue mountain harmony, blue mountain style, comprehensive blue mountain and so on. These are not real blue mountains.

Even the Japanese UCC, which used to be said to have entered a lot of blue mountains, generally sells the best blue mountain coffee beans on the channel, rest assured that there are absolutely no blue mountain beans in it.

As for the mighty COSTCO and other stores, a large bag of Blue Mountains reconciled 4.5 hundred yuan, needless to say, there are real blue mountains I can do whatever you want.

two。 If the price of half a pound of blue mountains and national treasure blue mountains sold in some channels is less than 1000, they may basically be secondary beans that are not too high near the blue mountains, and they also hang out under the name of blue mountains.

Just like the old sun cake shop, there are always a lot of other brands come out to cheat do not understand, and the taste of the sun cake can also learn to copy, coffee beans can not grow out without that kind of growing environment.

3. The price of a cup of Blue Mountain in the cafe is less than 300, and you can hardly drink the real Blue Mountain.

In addition, if it is not a manor-grade coffee shop (characterized by the fact that the names of individual coffees are too long and unintelligible), the chances of drinking the real blue mountains are almost zero.

At present, the CP value of Blue Mountain is not really that high, so boutique cafes that really understand the value of coffee are generally not very advanced (or very little). After all, the cost is high but the flavor grade is not high, so they are generally more likely to make a pilgrimage or sell fame.

At present, I am afraid that the batch of RSW estate has been entered in Taiwan. if you do not see this word, it can basically be judged to be false.

From the above points, it is really a little difficult to get a real Blue Mountain Coffee. You may have to take great pains to find a boutique cafe that "happens to be" in order to fulfill your old wish.

But is Blue Mountain really that delicious?

The editor really feels very ordinary, and it is not worth spending so much effort and money to pursue.

Fame comes from something, but it is doubtful whether Blue Mountain Coffee became famous even before the concept of boutique coffee took shape, in other words, whether it meets the definition of today's boutique coffee.

No matter how famous the fat beauties of the Tang Dynasty are, they may not be as good as your college sister who is a little bit more handsome next to you.

What is most trustworthy is always your tongue and taste, not your scary fame.

Blue Mountain No.1 Coffee

Climate and soil quality will bring subtle changes to the taste of coffee, while the tropical islands of Jamaica provide the best conditions for growing coffee beans, so they all use origin to describe the special identity of famous coffee beans. Most of the Jamaican islands are covered by mountains, and the ridge extends to the east of the island. The Blue Mountains are more than 2100 meters high. The cool weather, foggy weather and frequent rainfall make the Blue Mountains a fertile land.

Coffee in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica is divided into three grades according to the altitude of the area where it is grown:

Coffee grown between 3000 and 5500 feet above sea level is called coffee.

Blue Mountain Coffee (Blue Mountain Coffee)

Coffee between 1500 and 3000 feet is called

Alpine coffee (Jamaica High Mountain Supreme Coffee Beans)

And less than 1500 feet is called

Jamaica Coffee (Prime Washed Jamaican Coffee Beans)

More than 5500 feet are forest areas, and there will be no coffee beans to grow.

Among them, blue mountain coffee beans and alpine coffee beans are divided into two grades, and the price of blue mountain coffee is several times higher than that of alpine coffee.
