Our coffee operations are the oldest in our line of business. Over the years, we have acquired a great deal of experience in coffee growing. We have continued producing quality coffee by ensuring that only the red ripe berries are picked from the trees, coming from the original coffee variety of SL. 28, French mission, SL. 34, K7 and Blue Mountain. These varieties were introduced into the country early in the 20th Century. With the benefit of good volcanic soil and sunshine they have maintained the fuller, redder and heavier quality than any other place.
