Only optimum red cherry is harvested on a weekly basis - and sometimes twice a week. All the coffee is stage-dried in suspended trays under a naturally ventilated roof covering. Coffee from each of the estates is bagged individually. Once the coffee is stage dried, Henry says I then rest it for a while, so it is stabilized. The death of any coffee is if it absorbs moisture after it has been dried.
Great care is taken with that.
I keep my coffee in parchment form before we hand sort it and size-grade it. Coffee sounds romantic, Henry admits, but working coffee is hard, physical labor. Being passionate about the product is what counts in the end. Direct ordering as well as green bean sales can be done on-line. Delivery is dependent on the shipping schedule to and from the island.
