About Our Coffee
Rowan's Royale Organic Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is grown on a
small farm above Silver Hill Gap in Portland, Jamaica at a height
of over 4,000ft. There have been no pesticides, fungicides or
herbicides used on the farm for the last 15 years and no
inorganic fertilisers for 5 years.
Rowan's Royale coffee is largely shade grown. Care is taken to
preserve wild flowers and shrubs that support an active bird
population. The farm is part of the Blue and John Crow Mountain
National Park and is thus a nature reserve. Employees on the
coffee farm participate regularly in organic seminars and
workshops. |

Processing
Rowans Royale is hand- picked, washed, pulped, sun dried,
hand-checked, sized, sorted and then roasted to customer
specification. |
