The pimento berries are harvested between September and March in Jamaica. The Jamaicans climb the trees and break the branches using the hand. This process serves to prune and does not harm the tree. The cut branches are then waved on the ground to free the berries to be gathered. Those fruits must still be green, otherwise, they lose their aroma. They are sun-dried for four to ten days and crushed before being distilled.
