St. Thomas Manor Atlanta, Jamaica introduces the Jamaican Coffee Manor

As early as the mid-18th century (circa 1750), Clifton Farm began growing and producing coffee. According to the Jamaica Institute in 1810, Robert Hamilton was the owner of the farm at the time. This map shows Clifton Hill divided into two parts, 80 acres of coffee and 427 acres of pasture at the top, and 111 acres of coffee and 264 acres of pasture at the foot.

In 1872, the famous British painter and writer Marian Rose visited Jamaica and stayed on Clifton Hill for five months. In her autobiography, Memories of a Happy Life, she mentions Clifton Hotel, where she stayed: "Clifton Hotel belonged to a local gentleman who had lost his wife. Instead of staying in hotels, he rents them out to different people each week, so that more people can experience the cold air at 5000 feet above sea level and have the opportunity to wander among the best and oldest coffee plantations in Jamaica."
