Our Jamaican friends and our island’s dedicated visitors will know that Brown’s Hall sits northwest of Kingston in St. Catherine parish -- not in the Blue Mountain & John Crow National Park.
Yet, Brown’s Hall has an intimate place at the very heart of the Rocksteady Coffee story.
The heart of Rocksteady Coffee is community, and Brown’s Hall is the heart of our founder’s own community Brown’s Hall is where our founder’s grandparents, Daisy and Dudley Thompson, lived in harmony, raising their family and farming coffee and growing and milling sugarcane.
Brown’s Hall is a quiet place, but its community is a vibrant one. In addition to producing sugar and coffee for the nation and beyond, its people remain highly active in shaping Jamaica. Portia Simpson Miller, Jamaica's first woman Prime Minister, was raised in the community’s embrace. And as Portia was Daisy’s niece, Daisy lended her guiding hand in helping raise Portia.
It’s true. There’s something rare in the air up/down(?) in Brown’s Hall. When not in the field or with his family, Dudley Thompson himself would hold political meetings on the veranda of his home, no doubt with rum close at hand for his guests. Rum on the veranda . After all, it was a homecoming of sorts -- Dudley’s milled sugar did supply the Monymusk Rum factory.
Both Dudley and Daisy have now passed on, but their memories still hold court on land that continues to be held by the family in Brown’s Hall.
Brown’s Hall coffee liqueur is Rocksteady’s tribute to family, to communities, and to unmistakable feeling of building something bigger than ourselves. Join us and raise a glass of Rocksteady Gold Coffee Liqueur. Here’s to Daisy and Dudley, and here’s to you.
