Blue Mountain Flavor Coffee

Blue Mountain Flavor Coffee is actually what's known as "Blue Mountain Blend" and has no connection to genuine Blue Mountain coffee. Over 90% of authentic Blue Mountain coffee is exported to Japan, so many "Blue Mountain Coffee" products sold in Chinese cafés are undoubtedly fake. This situation exists because early Blue Mountain coffee was rare and expensive, so operators created blends using mixed beans and dark roasting to approximate the taste of Blue Mountain coffee. The beans in "Blue Mountain Blend" are mixed, with noticeable differences in size, making them easier to identify. Don't believe in "premium Blue Mountain" that costs only a few dozen yuan per pound or "Blue Mountain Coffee" that costs only thirty-something yuan per cup. The landing price of Blue Mountain coffee generally needs to be around 1000 yuan per kilogram, and with various profit margins added, the final price is undoubtedly very expensive.

Blue Mountain Coffee

Blue Mountain Coffee refers to coffee brewed from beans grown in Jamaica's Blue Mountains. The history of Jamaican coffee can be traced back to the 18th century when the British introduced coffee plants to Jamaica, cultivating them in the Blue Mountain range. These are further divided into high-altitude Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, Jamaican High Mountain coffee, and Jamaican coffee, with different grades determining different prices.

"Blue Mountain Flavor" coffee has no connection to authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Blue Mountain coffee is a type of specialty coffee that is quite popular among the general public and represents the pinnacle of coffee quality. Specialty coffee refers to superior, exquisite, and delicious coffee that is carefully cultivated, processed, and prepared. As long as coffee meets good growing conditions, appropriate processing methods, optimal roasting curves, absolutely fresh tasting periods, and exquisite brewing techniques, it can be considered "specialty." Therefore, whether espresso or single-origin, as long as it's of high quality, it can be called "specialty."

However, even the best coffee must ultimately be presented commercially to customers. Only coffee that customers can accept and enjoy, that allows them to immerse themselves in a wonderful sensory experience, can be considered truly specialty.

Knowledge Point: The coffee variety in Jamaica's Blue Mountains is one of the oldest varieties - Typica.
