Blue Mountain Flavor is an interesting coffee. In fact, this Blue Mountain Coffee is not really Blue Mountain Coffee! A lot of people suffer from it ~

First of all, let's talk about how this word comes from Japan. Due to the current global Blue Mountain Manor by the Japanese buyout products. Therefore, Blue Mountain is divided into three quality and product grades in Japan. The highest grade is called "Blue Mountain Coffee". It requires 100% Blue Mountain coffee beans and never allows any coffee beans other than Blue Mountain to be mixed. The next grade is called Blue Mountain Blend, which requires at least 60% Blue Mountain coffee beans. The final rating, called Blue Mountain Flavor, requires no Blue Mountain coffee beans. The Blue Mountains in Japan are protected by law. Has been found liable to imprisonment.

However, in China, there is no law on how to name products on the market, and many unscrupulous merchants simply pass them off as good and seek huge profits. Moreover, many people in China have only heard of Blue Mountain Coffee. When they find that the real Blue Mountain Coffee is expensive, they will find Blue Mountain flavor. Because do not understand the situation, but the price is too cheap, may be dozens of times the difference. Therefore, he had to settle for the second best.

However, the real Blue Mountain Coffee is also internationally renowned. The Blue Mountain producing country is the Blue Mountain Mountains of Jamaica, and the annual output is very low. The altitude requirement is above 1700. The only estates with a high reputation are "Conasdale" and "RSW" and "Mohao" estates, among which Mohao Estate produces pb whole beans with the highest price. Therefore, many domestic businesses are selling Blue Mountain coffee, which is not really Blue Mountain coffee. And the taste is not similar.

P. N.G (Papua New Guinea) and a little Costa Rica have been used to spell Blue Mountain flavor before. Originally, P. N.G is called Little Blue Mountain. Add a little Costa Rica to increase the sweetness. The baking degree is medium to a little deep, which is about one burst.

Of course, this mix is for other cafes, and the guests of their own shop will ask them to try what is called Blue Mountain flavor.

Generally speaking, Blue Mountain, Mantenin... latte refers to an Italian "coffee drink"(so some coffee can be called blue mountain coffee because it is brewed with blue mountain coffee beans, but there is no such thing as latte coffee beans ~)

I'm going to separate these two parts and then I'm going to go further.

Basically good coffee beans are Arabica species, this variety of coffee beans on pests or weather resistance is relatively poor quality, the growth environment requirements are more stringent, but the smell is better, caffeine content is less, so more economic value, good coffee should be this kind of, another variety is Robbs special, mostly taken to make instant coffee ~(so try not to drink instant coffee)

Blue Mountain, Mantning are coffee beans belonging to this variety, of which Blue Mountain is produced in Jamaica Blue Mountain (The highest mountain in the country), tastes with subtle acidity and even elegant flavor, formerly known as the best coffee, but because of the low yield and high value, it is now very rare, as long as the coffee beans are mixed with a certain proportion of blue mountain beans, it can be called blue mountain coffee (so you can note that many coffees are "blue mountain flavor" coffee, meaning that other beans imitate the flavor of blue mountain coffee, not really produced in blue mountain oh)

Mantenin is a coffee bean produced in Sumatra, Indonesia.(There is a group of aborigines called "Mandonglin," from which the name of this coffee comes.) Due to the sun drying method (the method of removing the pulp after drying), the original acidity in the coffee disappears completely, and it has a rough and strong earthy flavor, which is quite suitable for the heavy taste that Chinese people do not like acid. It is also quite popular ~

These two beans represent Latin American beans and Indonesian beans in the three major coffee producing areas of the world, and the third largest producing area is in Africa. African beans usually have unusual aromas, such as floral, fruity, fragrant... And so on, one of the famous Kenyan coffee beans, characterized by a grapefruit-like sour taste, but also a special choice in the hearts of coffee lovers ~

Then there's espresso, cappuccino, latte, caramel macchiato... And so are Italian coffee, which is the core of espresso, that is, espresso, he is the use of high pressure water quickly through the very fine ground coffee powder extracted from the espresso liquid, a portion of about only one mouth of the component (30CC or so), taste very strong, and then add different proportions of milk or milk foam and other materials into cappuccino, latte, caramel macchiato and so on...

in general

Cappuccino is about an espresso coffee, add 1/2 milk, 1/2 milk foam (the proportion varies, there is no so-called standard, but the characteristic is that the milk foam must be more)

A latte is an espresso with nine minutes of milk and a little foam.

Caramel macchiato can be said to be a fancy way to drink latte, that is, to make a mark or pattern with caramel sauce on the latte ~

Mocha, there is a coffee bean in Yamen Mocha port exit is also called mocha, but Italian coffee shop mocha usually refers to chocolate-flavored coffee, simply said that chocolate sauce is added to the latte, usually with whipped cream decoration ~
