Jamaica will export 70 tons of coffee to China in the coming year, but the demand for blue mountain coffee beans in the Chinese market is far more than 70 tons.

The existing problem and risk is that in the past, because it was very difficult to buy authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans, there were many fake blue mountain coffee beans on the market, which tarnished the brand image of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. Jamaica also said that it would take measures to crack down on the illegal act of counterfeiting Blue Mountain brands in the market.

As far as consumers are concerned, how to identify the authenticity of blue mountain coffee beans and taste the unique mellow taste of real blue mountain coffee?

Transport. The difference in transportation between Blue Mountain Coffee and other coffee is that it is transported in a 70kg barrel, a replica of the Bonifieur barrel made in Guadeloupe's Bug Century, which was originally used to carry flour from England to Jamaica, usually with a trademark and the name of the manufacturer. The Coffee Industry Council issues certificates for all authentic Jamaican coffee and stamps the exporters with approval stamps.

Packing. The real Blue Mountain coffee packaging is calculated in ounces and pounds. It is generally packaged as follows: 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz (half pound), 12 oz, 16 oz (one pound).

Grade. Blue Mountain Coffee is divided into only five grades: select Peaberry, Gradel, Grade2, Grade3 and preferred Blue Mountain.

Appearance. The raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee are cyan, neat in shape, medium in size, slightly upwarped at both ends of the beans, expanded in volume after baking, and full and round in shape.

Taste: the unique aroma of Blue Mountain Coffee is unmatched by coffee from any other region. Without opening the package, you can smell extremely strong aromas of fruit and chocolate, as well as cream. Those who have tasted Blue Mountain Coffee will know that the taste of Blue Mountain Coffee is very good. The palate is mellow and has a sweet aftertaste. No other coffee can taste like this.

Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain its top status today, which is also related to the local government's policy of limiting production and ensuring quality. Jamaica is not famous for Blue Mountain Coffee, regardless of the quality of mass production. But to give priority to quality, would rather sacrifice output, but also to protect the blue mountain coffee this gold-lettered signboard. Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, produces 30 million bags (60 kg each) of coffee a year, while Jamaica produces only more than 40, 000 bags a year.
