Blue Mountain & High Mountain Coffee Estates, Jamaica
There are two well defined coffee growing regions in Jamaica. The first one is the world famous Blue Mountain region, located on a mountain range on the eastern side of the island.

Many connoisseurs agree that Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is one of the world’s best. An exquisite balance of aroma, body and acidity is the medley which makes Blue Mountain Coffee very special. However, it is the mellow sweet aftertaste that separates this unique brand from all others. [Read More]

Finca La Corcovada Estate, Canary Islands
Coffee was introduced to the Canary Islands in 1788 when King Carlos III issued a decree ordering the introduction of the first coffee plants to the Island. Today coffee is produced in extremely small amounts in the Valley of Agaete.

Jacu Bird Coffee, Canocim Estate, Brazil
Camocim Estate, located in Pedra Azul, Espirito Santo, Brazil, is populated with a native South American bird called the Jacu. These indigenous birds are herbivores, inhabiting forested plantations (shade grown coffee areas) and feasting on the ripe coffee cherries. Once the Jacu bird has ingested the cherry, it eliminates the digested beans, which then lie on the ground under the coffee trees. Our staff collects these odourless droppings and transports them to the drying areas where they are dried, cleaned and stored in their parchment for up to three months. [Read More]
Kona & Maui Estates, Hawaii
The highly-prized coffee produced in the Kona coffee region is concentrated in a narrow corridor stretching about 30 miles between the mountain communities of Holualoa and Honanunau on the flank of Mauna Loa. This is known as the Kona coffee "belt", where a combination of factors makes for superb coffee growing conditions; rich volcanic soil, an ideal elevation of about 335 metres and a gentle climate. The coffee plants are kissed by morning sun and caressed by afternoon rain showers. [Read More]

The Mokka coffee is characterized by its very small and almost perfectly round-shaped coffee beans. [Read More]

Our Santa Cruz Estate coffee, as its name indicates, is grown on Santa Cruz Island, which is the second largest island in the Galápagos Islands. Some people believe that Santa Cruz Estate coffee is sweeter and its aroma richer than other Galápagos coffees.
