Coffee review

Blue Mountain Coffee is true and false!

Last Updated: 2024/06/03, As the raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee are rare, what is commonly seen in the market is roasted Blue Mountain Coffee, so the following identification is only for roasted Blue Mountain coffee beans.

For Blue Mountain Coffee, except for the direct imports from Japan UCC and Jamaica, it can basically be regarded as fake Blue Mountain Coffee.

Packaging: the real Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee packaging is sealed aluminum park packaging (similar to milk powder packaging), plus a layer of coarse sack packaging. It looks a little more quaint. The package has the logo of Blue Mountain Coffee:

The Blue Mountain Coffee packaged without this logo is basically fake except for UCC's Blue Mountain Coffee.

In some packages, in addition to the above logo, there is also a logo:

At present, some packages on the market are so funny that you can tell at a glance that they are fake. I have not seen the real Blue Mountain coffee with 500 grams of packaging, 500 grams of packaging is Chinese and European habits, 99.999% is fake blue mountain coffee. The packaging of True Blue Mountain Coffee 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).

And the problem can also be seen by the grade on the package. Many manufacturers pack Blue Mountain Coffee as AAA, AA and A Blue Mountain Coffee. It must be fake, because there has never been these grades of Blue Mountain Coffee. Blue Mountain Coffee is only divided into five grades: blue Mountain, Blue Mountain, selected Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain, and Blue Mountain. Take a look at the post I just posted about Blue Mountain Coffee.

In addition, some manufacturers on the market in order to confuse consumers, using barrel packaging, you know, barrel packaging of Blue Mountain coffee I have not seen an one-pound package. Only 2 ounces, 4 ounces, 8 ounces. Because barrel packaging is generally used as a gift, there is no need to make such a large package. The fake buckets are heavily packed and varnished. I feel dizzy, which will affect the smell. As for the raw beans packed in 60 kilograms of large oak barrels, they will not be considered here. The casks of Blue Mountain Coffee are all marked with manufacturers in English. Just look at the picture of barrel packaging in my post. Compared with other barrel-packed Blue Mountain Coffee, I can only laugh it off.

Summarize the packaging of fake Blue Mountain Coffee with a classic movie dialogue: come on, man, come out and mix professionally.

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.

Fakes only show up in front of the taste of True Blue Mountain coffee. Of course, it can still deceive many consumers who are not very professional.

Certificate: at present, the Jamaican Coffee Bureau can issue certificates for all exported Blue Mountain Coffee.

There are three types of certificates:

1) Certificate of quality issued by the Jamaican Coffee Agency

2) authorized sales certificate issued by Blue Mountain Coffee manufacturer.

(blue Mountain Coffee is distributed by 4 processing producers licensed by the Jamaican government and exported by 16 licensed exporters)

3) Certificate of origin of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee

The quality certificate indicates the time and quantity. The Jamaica Coffee Bureau randomly selects a package from the Blue Mountain Coffee for inspection, and issues a certificate if the conditions of the Blue Mountain Coffee are met.

There is no denying that some dealers have such certificates, but pay attention to the time and number of certificates. If the certificate in 2003, the quantity submitted for inspection is 100 pounds. You said that he was still buying Blue Mountain Coffee in 2005 and what proof would there be if he took out this certificate? Many dealers openly took out the real certificate to prove his fake goods. Please be careful.

I am applying for the authorized sales certificate of the manufacturer. I will be back in mid-May and send it to you at that time.

In addition, a Blue Mountain Coffee Certificate, which is widely circulated on the Internet, is actually problematic. The round one, the green one. It has the word Wallenford written on it. I sent the certificate to my acquaintance in Jamaica (I am in foreign trade, Jamaica is a client of mine), and he sent it to Wallenford Manor, and the reply I got was that this "certificate" was not a certificate, but only a label for our export of raw beans.

Others said that the certificate was a certificate of origin. I was dizzy. I have never seen a circular certificate of origin. There is a unified certificate of origin format in the world. I have already posted it in my post. You can go and have a look.

Certificates of origin are only provided to enterprises that import large quantities of raw beans of Blue Mountain Coffee, and the Jamaican Trade Association will not provide certificates of origin to small businesses.

Price: the price of Blue Mountain coffee is very high. So people who want to buy Blue Mountain coffee for less than 300 yuan a pound are dreaming. Unless you go to Jamaica to buy it, there is still some hope. It's almost impossible at home. Except for those sold at suicidal prices by manufacturers. Therefore, the Internet says that 50 yuan 80 yuan a pound of Blue Mountain coffee, I can guarantee that it is a fake. And it's so fake. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some black-hearted merchants deliberately raise prices to pretend to be Blue Mountain Coffee. This kind of merchant is more frightening than those who buy fake Blue Mountain coffee at a low price.

Having written so much, I hope everyone has a basic understanding of Blue Mountain Coffee. In addition, I have to add that Blue Mountain Coffee is still coffee, not gold. The ugly point is agricultural products, do not feel out of reach, it is the result of domestic speculation. As for the purpose of frying, let's think about it.
