Coffee basics How to distinguish between true and false Blue Mountain Coffee

It is said that Blue Mountain is good, but Blue Mountain is really good. But are you sure you're drinking the real Blue Mountain? I dare say that more than 90% of the people who boast that they drink blue mountains are fake blue mountains. There is not no real thing in China, but it is very difficult to learn to pick a real one out of ten thousand kinds of fake goods.

First, there is no sign in Blue Mountain, it depends on the name of the manor. Blue Mountain is a region of Jamaica, producing the best Blue Mountain estate, the most famous is the Wallenford and the most famous coffee farm.

Second, it will never be bought in supermarkets or stores, nor will it be brought back from abroad from those so-called relatives and friends. It can only be bought in the hands of a roaster with a certain ability and conscience.

Third, the best blue mountains are very expensive. The cheap Blue Mountains of other estates, even if they are produced in Jamaica, are not as high as they should be. Although they are of good quality in fine beans, they are not as good as the best Blue Mountains after all.

Fourth, the shipment of Blue Mountain Coffee is very small. Production in Jamaica was bogged down by the hurricane in 1969, and Japanese UCC companies provided assistance. In gratitude, Jamaica signed a contract with Japan in 1972 to supply 90% of production to the Japanese market, leaving about 3500 barrels (70 kg oak barrels) for sale on the market (and the only coffee preserved in oak barrels).

So don't pursue the word Blue Mountain blindly. If you don't reach the corresponding taste and identification ability, you can't drink the true blue mountain.

The so-called comprehensive Blue Mountain, matching Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain flavor and Blue Mountain style have nothing to do with Blue Mountain Coffee in domestic and foreign markets. Good merchants will use the best Colombian beans to make comprehensive products to imitate the taste of Blue Mountain, while unscrupulous merchants do not know what beans to use. Just naming Blue Mountain sells them at high or low prices. So I don't want to keep seeing the word Blue Mountain leaving the manor behind.

I will always be the saying, what do you spend money for? Is this money relatively worth spending here? For Blue Mountain, it's not worth it. Cheap Blue Mountain is not even a qualified mix of beans. What is expensive is not really the best Blue Mountain. A hundred steps forward requires a capital investment of fifty steps. And those who can really drink the best Blue Mountains, ha ha, it is not my turn to speak.
