Blue Bottle, the world's most famous specialty coffee brand, is named after The Blue Bottle Coffee House, the first café in the history of Central Europe. Founded in 2002, Blue Bottle has opened dozens of stores in the Bay Area, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Miami, Boston and other cities, and its overseas expansion plan was first settled in Japan, and now it has opened 11 stores in Tokyo, Kyoto and other places. In 2017, Blue Bottle acquired a 68% stake in Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company.
 
In addition to the physical store channel, Blue Bottle also provides coffee subscription services to consumers in Australia, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries. What is more special is that Blue Bottle closed its wholesale department in 2015, and all products are not sold through distributors, only in its own stores and on its official website, and the product quality is more guaranteed.
 
Instead of purchasing green beans from international coffee exchanges, Blue Bottle's green bean sourcing team visits major coffee producing areas around the world every year, going deep into local coffee estates, processing stations, trading directly with farmers, and maintaining long-term relationships with estates in order to obtain consistent quality coffee beans. In addition to direct trade, Blue Bottle also buys green beans from a number of Fair Trade certified estates.
 
Blue Bottle only sells coffee beans that have been roasted within 48 hours, and most of their stores have small bakeries where they sell beans in brown paper bags that are roasted freshly the same day. If you plan to order on the official website, Blue Bottle will indicate the roasting time and delivery time updated in real time, so that consumers can buy the freshest beans. In terms of packaging, in addition to the regular kraft paper bags, Blue Bottle has also launched pressurized canned products that significantly delay the aging of coffee, and the beans are sealed immediately after roasting, and the fresh flavor can be maintained for 4 months.
 
Single-origin specialty coffee is the protagonist of Blue Bottle, and the bean list varies depending on the season. At present, the origin of Blue Bottle specialty coffee beans on the list is Honduras, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, etc., both classic origins, as well as relatively rare scarce origins, most of which come from small cooperatives and private estates in various coffee producing areas.
 
Specialty coffee focuses on the unique style of a certain origin, and balance and stability are the meaning of blended coffee. The best-selling of Blue Bottle's three signature blends, Bella Donovan, a combination of Ethiopian, Sumatran and Papua New Guinea coffee beans, is sun-dried Ethiopia that provides the syrupy to the whole. Bella Donovan is a very basic everyday bean with a sweet, moist and sweet moist aroma with a caramel feel, and a taste profile of berries and cocoa in the mouth. Bella Donovan is suitable for French presses, pour-over pots, Moka pots, Philharmonic presses, etc., as well as automatic drip coffee machines.
