The farm also uses a water recycling system as a vermicomposting methodology for pulp decomposition. The estate is renowned for producing the world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee. The farm with its elegant Grande Maison is located in the Newcastle region, on the eastern slope of Catherine's Peak, 1310 meters above sea level.

TREATMENT

Once the ripe cherries have been picked, they are delivered to the mill where they are loaded into the pulping machine which expels the seeds from the cherry. At this stage, the seeds are contained in the cherry pulp, also called mucilage. This sticky mucilage is made up of natural sugars and alcohols and contributes massively to the sweetness, acidity and flavor profile of coffee. Once the beans have been pulped, they are then placed in fermentation tanks for approximately 12 to 24 hours, depending on the temperature. Fermentation breaks down the mucilage, leaving the grains in their parchment, which are then ready to be washed. Once everything is washed and cleaned, the beans sit in the hot Jamaican sun for a few days.
