Farm Produce

Coffea (Coffee) is grown in the shade of the rainforest trees and the ripe red berries are handpicked, sun-dried, hulled, monsooned to get it its unique flavour, graded, roasted and ground, all at the farm. Our coffee is a special blend between the arabica and robusta varieties and gives a strong brew best tasted as a mocca or espresso. Caffeine contributes to its stimulating and refreshing effect, and coffee has been found to eliminate lethargy, headaches, drowsiness, decreases the risk of gall and kidney stones, and asthma. Coffee is widely used by naturopaths to treat hayfever and depression. Traditionally, it was also used to treat malarial patients.

We also produce one of the world's most exclusive varieties of Civet Coffee. It is produced from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by wild Brown Palm Civets which are endemic to this region. After collecting and manual processing, these beans yield an aromatic coffee widely recognized as one of the most exclusive in the world.

Shade-grown, roasted for mocha and espresso; hand-graded into a special blend.
