How much is the authentic Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee bean? description of the flavor characteristics of the blue mountain coffee?

The name of Blue Mountain Coffee is very big. Because of its high price, there is a need to imitate fake Blue Mountain Coffee beans. Let's teach you how to distinguish the true blue mountain coffee beans on the front street.

Why is Blue Mountain coffee so expensive? Jamaica produces about 2,000 tons of blue mountain coffee beans a year, which, by comparison, is less than Ethiopia's exports in a month. Because in 1969, Jamaica was hit hard by a hurricane. At that time, Japan's UCC Uashima Coffee introduced eco-technology into coffee cultivation to help revive the Jamaican coffee industry. As a token of gratitude, the Jamaican government signed a contract with Japan in 1971, agreeing to ship 90% of its annual output to Japan. Most of the remaining 10% go into the pockets of the rich or royalty before entering the market. Just because the amount of Blue Mountain coffee in circulation is so rare, the Blue Mountain coffee that we can usually buy in convenience stores or coffee shops can only be regarded as Blue Mountain "flavor" coffee. Usually, in order to imitate the slightly bitter and sour taste of Blue Mountain Coffee, the industry will use different varieties of coffee beans to mix. Conscientious shopkeepers use Jamaican alpine coffee mixed with Hawaiian Kona coffee or Colombian coffee, while more black-hearted ones mix Brazilian, Guadeloupe or other cheap coffee. But even so, sales of these coffees from other countries have been boosted by "imitating" Blue Mountain Coffee. As for pure Blue Mountain coffee, although only a few shops in China sell it, if you want to taste a cup, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money. It can be said that one of the reasons why Blue Mountain coffee is expensive is the monopoly of Japanese businessmen, and as Japan's priority to buy expires, the import share of other countries has also increased. Chinese mainland officially introduced even the first batch of Blue Mountain coffee beans in 2004, so the authentic Blue Mountain No.1 coffee beans can be found in China. How to tell whether it is authentic Blue Mountain Coffee 1. Certified real Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee beans the Jamaican government used to insist that all Blue Mountain coffee is roasted in Jamaica to ensure the same quality. In fact, baking is a fine art, and it takes experience, training and expensive equipment to do a good job. From the consumer's point of view, coffee beans should be obtained and drunk immediately after baking. Coffee roasting in Jamaica is unlikely to meet this requirement. Now, raw coffee beans from Jamaica can be exported.

Qianjie coffee has come back from its origin into the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. At present, the Jamaican Coffee Bureau can issue certificates for all exported Blue Mountain coffee. There are three kinds of certificates: (1) the certificate of quality issued by the Jamaican Coffee Agency (2) the authorized sales certificate issued by the Blue Mountain Coffee manufacturer. (blue Mountain Coffee is distributed by 4 processing producers licensed by the Jamaican government and exported by 16 licensed exporters) (3) Certificate of Origin of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee 2. If the price is basically lower than triple digits / 100g, it's not usually a real Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee bean. Described in the logo as "Blue Mountain flavor coffee beans", "Blue Mountain mixed coffee beans" and "Blue Mountain No. 1 mixed coffee" are not real Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee beans. 3. Observing the appearance of coffee beans is due to the strict coffee grading system in Jamaica. In the standard of Blue Mountain 1, it must meet more than 17 mesh and the defect is less than 2%. So after we get the cooked beans, we can observe whether the granule size of the coffee beans is uniform.

The blue mountain one coffee beans on the front street come from Clifton Farm in Jamaica, which has a history of more than 200 years, and is the only farm in the Blue Mountain area that has tropical rain forest alliance certification. So his blue mountain bucket will have a frog logo, which is very easy to identify. The blue mountain coffee beans in the street before 2021 are washed version, which is the traditional blue mountain flavor, which is very guaranteed in quality.

How can I make blue mountain coffee to taste good? The recommended parameters for Qianjie cooking are: Kono filter cup, 88 °C water temperature, 1:15 powder / water ratio, 15g powder weight, grindness (70-75% pass rate of No. 20 standard sieve). Qianjie takes into account that this blue mountain bean uses a deeper baking degree, the deeper the roasting degree, the faster the dissolution rate of the coffee substance, in order to avoid over-extraction, Qianjie uses a lower water temperature for extraction, but also uses a lower flow rate Kono filter cup to ensure that the coffee substance is extracted as much as possible under low water temperature conditions.

Qianjie recommends using freshly roasted coffee beans for brewing, so that you can maximize the rich flavor of the coffee. The coffee beans shipped in Qianjie are all roasted within 5 days, because Qianjie is well aware that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

Qianjie adopts segmented extraction, that is, three-stage water injection method, using 30g water for steaming, and the steaming time is 30s. The first small flow is injected around the circle to 125g to cut off water, and when the liquid level is about to expose the powder layer, continue the second stage of water injection, and the total extraction time (including steaming) is 225g. Show the clarity of the blue mountain without losing weight, sweet and sour balance, very comfortable.
