Why is the price of Blue Mountain flavor coffee so cheap? how much is the real Blue Mountain coffee bean per jin?

Recently, a friend asked Qianjie, is it true that those bags of Blue Mountain coffee on the Internet cost tens of yuan? Indeed, due to the reputation of Blue Mountain Coffee, counterfeit products emerge one after another. So Qianjie is more about how to identify authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans.

What is authentic Blue Mountain Coffee beans

Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee must be in the form of coffee beans, which are grown in the heart of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The flavor is characterized by a balance of sweet, sour and bitter, mellow, smooth and comfortable taste. The reason why it is so famous is that in the 1970s and 1980s, as long as Blue Mountain Coffee beans paid attention to quality in the world, coupled with the spread of the Japanese, Blue Mountain Coffee became the king of coffee. Blue Mountain went out in China because when the change worked in the 1990s, coffee was served only in high-end hotels and was generally used to entertain foreign guests. One of the best is Blue Mountain Coffee, and later you can have a cup of coffee in a hotel even if you have the money.

To tell you the truth, China does not have any coffee culture, so naturally there is no cultural baggage. When I tasted the most expensive coffee at that time, I thought it was the best coffee, so Blue Mountain is very famous in China.

Generally speaking, Blue Mountain Coffee No. 1 is called Blue Mountain Coffee by default in China. In fact, Blue Mountain Coffee also includes No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and round beans. No. 1 is the highest grade of blue mountain coffee beans and the best coffee beans.

In the early days, China did not directly import Blue Mountain coffee beans, but could only import them in small quantities from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, so it was extra precious. It was not until 2010, when Hangzhou Coffee and Western Food Industry Association was invited to visit Jamaica, that it signed a letter of intent for the general agent of Blue Mountain Coffee beans in China. In May 2011, when the first cabinet of Blue Mountain raw beans arrived in Ningbo Port, China had a direct import of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans.

Authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans are imported from original wooden barrels, and there are only three specifications: 15kg, 30kg and 70kg, so some small cafes cannot afford the price (or sales volume) of a barrel, so it is difficult to prove to consumers that it is the real Blue Mountain. Qianjie started by buying whole buckets of Blue Mountain No. 1 coffee beans from Clifton Farm, which was the first coffee bean producer to trade with China.

Qianjie also applied for an acting dealer certificate from Clifton Farm in Jamaica in 2019. The price of blue mountain coffee beans in Qianjie is 158 yuan / 100g. Some friends see that some of the blue mountain coffee beans of some treasure buy 300-500 yuan, and some of the low prices are probably fake. The price of blue mountain coffee can indeed reach 300-500 yuan before. This is because the domestic quota is small, and things are scarce, but after opening up the channels, the share of China's purchase of blue mountain coffee beans is increasing, and now some of them can still be sold so expensive. It's just a message message.

Which blue mountain coffee is fake at a glance?

After talking about which are the real Blue Mountains, Qianjie shares several kinds of fake Blue Mountain Coffee. After you see that these coffees have the characteristics of Qianjie introduction, there is no doubt that they are fake.

First, Blue Mountain Instant Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee must be in the form of coffee beans or ground powder, instant coffee is basically a fake Blue Mountain, or in the name of Blue Mountain to deceive the public.

Second, blue mountain flavor, blue mountain mix

This one is also playing on the sidelines, he did not say that this is the real Blue Mountain, but only wrote Blue Mountain flavor coffee, Blue Mountain blended coffee, that is to say, use other coffee beans to imitate the taste of Blue Mountain coffee. In that case, it must not be the real Blue Mountain coffee beans.

Third, the price is very low, unreasonably low.

The very low price here refers to the situation that is unreasonably low. For example, although the blue mountain coffee in Qianjie is low in the blue mountain beans, it is a profitable price after calculating the cost. And some of the blue mountains that sell dozens of yuan of 1kg, how can it be true? if so, the boss will lose more and more money. So don't be greedy for petty gain.
