Xaymaca: What's in a Name?
The Tainos, previously referred to as the Arawaks, have often been described as the earliest inhabitants of Jamaica and the first to have come into contact with the Spaniards.
Interestingly, the name of the island ‘Jamaica’ is believed to be of Taino origin as it was derived from their reference to the island as Xaymaca—land of wood and water.

At the heart of our company lies the Jamaican coffee farmer, the cornerstone of our industry.
We prioritize their well-being by offering technical and agronomic support, ensuring access to essential farm supplies, and providing fair compensation for their coffee. Did you know that Jamaican coffee farmers receive the highest prices globally for their beans?
We are also committed to enhancing the communities within the Jamaica Blue Mountains, where our coffee is grown, by supporting various social projects. Our dry coffee mill, situated in downtown Kingston, operates in one of the city's most economically disadvantaged areas.
By employing over 600 women, many of whom are single parents, we not only cultivate economic stability but also catalyze positive change in their lives and communities.
Environmental Responsibility
Our coffee cultivation epitomizes sustainability.
Nestled beneath a canopy of banana, Inga, mango, and various shade trees, our coffee thrives amidst natural biodiversity. We prioritize manual weed control, safeguarding the integrity of soil and river basins against erosion.
Operating with a commitment to eco-conscious practices, our state-of-the-art coffee mill sets the standard for environmental stewardship. Employing cutting-edge technology, we recycle and treat water used in the pulping process, ensuring minimal impact on local ecosystems.
Furthermore, our drying methods emphasize sustainability, predominantly utilizing sun-drying techniques. In instances where alternative measures are necessary, we employ rotary driers fueled by coffee parchment, a by-product of our processing, further reducing waste and maximizing efficiency.
