How to Brew FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee

How should FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee be brewed to bring out its flavor without wasting such expensive beans? Follow FrontStreet Coffee step by step to learn the brewing method for FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee.

Identifying Authentic Blue Mountain Coffee Beans

First, learn to identify genuine Blue Mountain coffee beans. Due to the great fame of Blue Mountain coffee, many counterfeit Blue Mountain coffee beans flood the market. When purchasing Blue Mountain coffee beans, do not be tempted by low prices. For example, those large packages of Blue Mountain coffee beans priced under 100 yuan are undoubtedly fake without needing verification. These beans generally use coffee beans from other countries and utilize dark roasting to simulate Blue Mountain flavor. If observed carefully, some counterfeit Blue Mountain coffees attempt to confuse consumers with terms like "Blue Mountain style," "Blue Mountain blend," or "Blue Mountain mix."

Genuine FrontStreet Coffee Blue Mountain coffee consists of coffee beans from regions above 910 meters (3,000 feet) in Jamaica's Blue Mountain growing area, belonging to single-origin coffee. Blue Mountain coffee beans are exported in wooden barrels with specifications of 15kg, 30kg, and 70kg. Therefore, the first step to verify whether the Blue Mountain coffee sold by merchants is genuine is to check if they have original Blue Mountain barrels. When purchasing Blue Mountain coffee beans, you can request a certificate of authenticity, which is also evidence for verifying the authenticity of Blue Mountain coffee beans.

For example, FrontStreet Coffee purchases whole barrels of Blue Mountain from the Clifton Farm and has also received the Clifton Farm's Blue Mountain coffee bean distributor certificate.

Understanding Blue Mountain Coffee Pricing

The second question is what is the price of genuine Blue Mountain coffee. Taking 100g roasted bean packaging as an example, prices range from over 100 yuan to over 200 yuan, over 300 yuan, and over 500 yuan, which causes confusion among consumers. In fact, as long as merchants can provide Blue Mountain coffee information (certificates, wooden barrels, traceability information), these prices are all reasonable for genuine Blue Mountain coffee. This involves the merchant's procurement costs and profit calculations. Consumers can also search online for the import prices of Blue Mountain green beans and then calculate the costs.

FrontStreet Coffee's Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Brewing Method

To brew FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain coffee well, FrontStreet Coffee believes you only need to focus on three points: good beans, good water, and correct parameters. Good beans not only refer to the quality of the coffee beans themselves but also the state of the beans is very important. FrontStreet Coffee recommends using freshly roasted coffee beans for brewing to maximize the experience of the coffee's rich flavors. The coffee beans shipped by FrontStreet Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) are all roasted within 5 days because FrontStreet Coffee deeply understands that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on flavor. FrontStreet Coffee's roasting philosophy is "freshly roasted good coffee," ensuring that every customer who places an order receives the freshest coffee when it arrives. The coffee's degassing period is about 4-7 days, so when customers receive it, it's precisely when the flavor is at its best.

The water used for brewing coffee is also very important. If you don't want to research water too deeply, you can directly use Nongfu Spring water.
