Jungle Bay’s very own Dominica Roast: Traditional Coffee Roasting

9 03 2008

At Jungle Bay we are always trying to think of innovative ways of providing fresh, local products for our guests. Hence, our new addition of Dominica locally bought, roasted and ground on site coffee. Here are some pictures from the first round of roasting. In the following photo series watch Margeret (expert coffee roaster since birth) and Anthea (Housekeeping Team Leader) as they take the husked, whitish coffee beans and roast them into a dark delectable that every guest will be able to brew in their room. What a treat! The next project, once the coffee is instated, is to create local bush teas and bag them to be brewed in the rooms as well.

Dominica Named #1 by Alex Boylan

25 02 2008

Alex Boylan circled the globe with no money and little more than the clothes on his back. After five months he’s back to the starting line, and talks with CBS’s Chris Wragge about his trip.  When asked what stands out the most Alex said, “Dominica.”
