Only coffee produced on 6000 hectares above 1600 meters above sea level can be called Blue Mountain. The output has always been less than 900t, according to the principle of 10% supply to the world outside Japan. Can this kind of coffee, which the world can only consume 90 tons a year, be drunk in any cafe for dozens of yuan?

Shangdao Coffee, a national coffee chain, has become the focus of public attention after it was exposed by CCTV that fake Blue Mountain Coffee was passed off as Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. After the incident was exposed, the reporter made an undercover visit to the Xi'an branch of Shangdao Coffee and found that there were still fraudulent consumers. According to a CCTV survey, the quantity of Blue Mountain coffee exported from Jamaica to the Chinese mainland area is very small, and the price of real Blue Mountain coffee beans per pound is about 2000 yuan, and a cup costs more than 60 yuan. Therefore, the 20 or 30 yuan cup of coffee sold in Shangdao and other coffee shops is not really Blue Mountain coffee at all.

According to industry insiders, there are very few real Blue Mountains in China, because it is difficult to tell the true from the false, and most businesses pass off coffee from Yunnan and other places as Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, which is already an open "hidden rule" in the industry. The price of ordinary coffee beans doubles as soon as it is marked "Blue Mountain Coffee", and some unknown consumers are extremely easy to fall into the trap. It is understood that Blue Mountain Coffee specifically refers to coffee located in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and the merchants only write "Jamaica, the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee" on the menu, which leads to misconsumption by consumers. According to the law of elimination, the behavior of businesses has constituted a fraud to consumers, and consumers can demand double compensation from businesses.
