An innovative way of producing coffee from the esteemed Coffea Diversa estate, working in harmony with the nature and animals living around the farm. The Aracari Toucan is native to the southern region of Costa Rica and live freely around Coffea Diversa's coffee garden.
During the harvesting season they feed on fully ripe coffee cherries, skilfully removing the cherry skin (red pulp) with their bills, and then swallowing only the coffee bean, covered with sweet, sticky mucilage. The coffee beans go through the toucan’s digestive system, and are then deposited in neat silver piles, after which they are collected by the farm workers, cleaned, dried, processed, and allowed to rest for several weeks to ensure uniform moisture content.
Both the Geisha and the Bourbon Pointu maintain their cupping attributes, but the body of the 'Toucan Processed Coffee' is heavier than in the conventional washed Processed for these varieties. The taste attributes are similar but more intense, i.e., the floral of the Geisha is more pronounced and so is the caramelly taste in the Bourbon Pointu.
