Next, Qianjie Coffee will talk to you about how to make Blue Mountain Coffee good!

How to tell the authenticity of Blue Mountain Coffee?

1. Coffee bean price

The Blue Mountain coffee industry is facing a series of problems, such as the impact of hurricanes, the increase of labor costs and the difficulty of mechanized terraced fields. It is difficult to rationalize the cultivation of many small estates and farms, so the annual output of Blue Mountain coffee is not large, so there are not many blue mountain coffee beans that can be imported in each region, while the price of cooked beans of Lanshan No. 1 coffee sold in China is generally about 150-300 yuan. At present, the price of Jamaican Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee on Qianjie Coffee is 158ther 100g.

two。 Identify the Blue Mountain Coffee barrel

The Jamaican government stipulates that all blue mountains for export must be packed in wooden barrels. Therefore, Lanshan No. 1 coffee beans are exported in wooden buckets, so when buying coffee beans, you can pay attention to whether the seller has a whole barrel of Blue Mountain buckets. This prevents the seller from using other coffee beans as Blue Mountain coffee beans.

3. Confirm the certificate of origin

Buyers of blue mountain coffee beans (first-hand raw bean buyers) can apply for blue mountain coffee bean certification from CIB or the estate, which can also prove that the blue mountain coffee beans are authentic, so you can pay attention to whether the buyer has the certification issued by the Jamaican government / origin.

At present, the authentic blue mountain coffee beans bought in China are all blue mountain No. 1 grade. The barrel required by the Jamaican government for the export of Blue Mountain Coffee and the certificate of origin of Blue Mountain Coffee (Clifton Manor) can be found in the physical coffee shop on Qianjie.

Why do you use freshly roasted beans to make coffee?

Generally speaking, the taste that produces the pleasant regional flavor of coffee comes from small molecules, and after baking, these pleasant small molecules begin to volatilize and lose, and over time, what we call coffee beans become not so fresh. These small molecules will evaporate, leaving behind large molecules that make people feel bitter.

Therefore, in order to better feel the taste of the coffee, the baristas and roasters of Qianjie coffee will emphasize a "best taste period". The best taste period does not refer to the shelf life, but refers to the recommendation that it will taste better during the best taste period. coffee beans can still be drunk after the taste period, but the taste missed the best time. Therefore, all coffee beans in Qianjie Coffee are sent out within 5 days after baking.

According to the roasting style of Qianjie coffee, the roaster of Qianjie coffee recommends the best taste period within one month to one and a half months after baking, so we often remind guests to drink coffee beans within a month after going back. But it doesn't mean that the fresh coffee tastes better.

All coffee beans have a large amount of carbon dioxide in the body after baking, which will affect coffee extraction, so it is necessary to let the original packaging of coffee beans sit quietly to 3-4 days (shallow roasting) / 5-6 days (deep roasting) after the baking date. Let the coffee beans remove the right amount of carbon dioxide on their own, which can also reduce the "dryness" caused by roasting.

How does Blue Mountain Coffee taste good?

Qianjie Coffee currently sells Blue Mountain No.1 coffee beans. The iron pickup variety of Lanshan No. 1 coffee bean is one of the most ancient varieties in Arabica strain, and it is also the cleanest and most quiet variety. In order to make Blue Mountain Coffee show a mellow, solid taste and clean characteristics, Qianjie Coffee roasted Blue Mountain Coffee to a medium depth.

The baking degree of Blue Mountain Coffee is deep, and the flavor tends to be rich and mellow. The barista in front street will use the KONO filter cup and use the filter paper to closely fit the filter cup to play an immersion extraction in the process of hand-brewing coffee, making the coffee concentration higher. In addition, in order to avoid excessive extraction to make the coffee bitter and thick, Qianjie will use cooler hot water and a thicker grinding scale.

To give Blue Mountain Coffee a mild alcohol thickness, Qianjie Coffee uses a KONO filter cup with medium coarse grinding (coarse sugar size / 70% screening rate of China 20 standard sieve) and water at 88-89 degrees Celsius for extraction.

The extraction techniques are as follows: 30 grams of water is injected into the first stage for steaming for 30 seconds, and the second stage is injected into about 125 grams of water, then wait for the coffee liquid to drop, and when it falls to half, the last section of water is injected to 225 grams. Wait for all the coffee drops to lag behind before ending the extraction, the general total extraction time is about 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
