The present situation of Blue Mountain Coffee basic knowledge of boutique coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee can maintain today's top status, but also with the local government's policy of limiting production and quality. Jamaica does not mass-produce Blue Mountain coffee regardless of quality because it is famous. Instead, quality was given priority, and it was better to sacrifice production and protect the gold-lettered signboard of Blue Mountain Coffee. Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, produces 30 million bags (60 kilograms each) of coffee a year, while Jamaica produces just over 40, 000 bags a year, illustrating the difference. Blue Mountain coffee beans are divided into several types according to quality. The top blue mountain coffee beans generally do not enter the circulation market. Most of them are reserved by the royal family and the rich. The listed blue mountain coffee beans are the "Blue Mountain" brand coffee beans guaranteed by the Jamaica government. Jamaica produced 43,000 bags of coffee in 2003-2004, of which 24,000 were exported, according to statistics on the International Coffee Organization's website. Nearly 90% of exports go to Japan and the rest to Europe and the United States. Due to limited production and small export volume, Blue Mountain Coffee has been in short supply on the international market.

In recent years, various coffee shops have sprung up in China, and top-grade Blue Mountain Coffee has naturally become the target of people, especially young people. For a moment, it seemed that only when you tasted Blue Mountain coffee could you really drink coffee. And if you don't sell Blue Mountain coffee, you're not a real coffee shop. Domestic "Blue Mountain Coffee" price per cup from more than 30 yuan to more than 100 yuan, really expensive. However, China does not import its share of Blue Mountain coffee directly from Jamaica, nor does the International Coffee Organization record any exports of Blue Mountain coffee beans to China. So a word of caution: despite the high price you paid, the coffee in your cup is probably not the real Blue Mountain coffee.
