What is Blue Mountain Coffee

A: it strictly refers to Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.

1. It must be planted in the Blue Mountain area of Jamaica.

2. Must be above 666 meters above sea level

3. Must be certified by Jamaica Coffee Industry Authority (Coffee industry board)

4. The outer packaging of the beans must be affixed with the Blue Mountain Coffee logo registered by the Jamaica Industrial Authority or the authorized distribution documents provided by the Jamaican Industrial Authority.

not a single one can be omitted.

Any coffee that cannot meet the above four conditions at the same time is not Blue Mountain Coffee (with the exception of Japanese UCC).

Such as Alpine Coffee, Blue Mountain Coffee, Blue Mountain blend Coffee, Blue Mountain xx coffee. It's not even Blue Mountain Coffee.

Why is Blue Mountain Coffee so expensive

A: because of monopoly and hype

In the 1960s, Japanese enterprises represented by UCC provided huge assistance to Jamaica.

In 1972, Jamaica and Japan signed a bean distribution agreement, that is, 90% of the beans were sold to Japan, 5% to the United States and 5% to Europe. (this quota has changed slightly since then.)

Obviously, after this distribution, there is an endless supply of blue mountains in Japan, while other countries are short of blue mountains.

This forms the objective situation of the rarity of Blue Mountains in non-Japanese areas, as well as the availability of Japanese exotic goods, which provides the basic soil for the cost of Blue Mountains.

Then, UCC and other businesses took advantage of the hype to sell Blue Mountain to you at an unusually high price.

Among them, the most striking thing is that when there was no direct trade in coffee between Jamaica and China, the Chinese people bought and drank 15% of the Blue Mountain at outrageous prices when there was no direct trade between Jamaica and China. Of course, in the consciousness of the Chinese people, the Blue Mountain is good coffee, and the Blue Mountain coffee is expensive.

Can China buy real Blue Mountain Coffee

A: yes.

When there was no direct coffee trade between Jamaica and China, the Chinese drank 15% of the world's Blue Mountain coffee, the real thing.

After the global financial crisis in 2008, Japan reduced its purchase of Blue Mountain Coffee, and more Blue Mountain Coffee entered the international market.

In 2010, China and Jamaica finally began direct coffee trade, so far, coffee beans and trade volume are still growing.

Of course, due to the problems of counterfeiting and counterfeiting, it is necessary to master some methods to buy authentic Blue Mountain Coffee in China, and the best way is to log on to the Langshan Coffee Industry Bureau and find reliable dealers.

Does Blue Mountain Coffee taste good?

A: I don't want to make a mess and say whether it tastes good or not is everyone's own business.

First of all, I feel that there is nothing good to drink and it is not worth mentioning.

Then, the famous boutique coffee association SCA (SCAA+SCAE), over the past decade, has selected so many boutique coffee beans, including all kinds of roses that are now recognized as delicious. But Blue Mountain Coffee never ran. It also does not participate in the evaluation and selection of other influential coffee.

Of course, from a commercial point of view, it is already selling well and expensive, so it's okay not to run.

It may be bad / smirk if you participate.

Finally, you will hardly come across any boutique coffee organizations, boutique cafes or baristas that will recommend Blue Mountain Coffee to you. But they will recommend Rosa, Yega Sheffield, Kenya SL28.

Can I fake it with Blue Mountain Coffee?

A: if you want to know how much other people know about coffee, you can use Blue Mountain to pretend.

Admit that you son of a bitch, his knowledge of coffee is very limited.

Those who do not recognize it are likely to be those who have seen really good coffee.
