About This Coffee

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 and 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.

Roasting

We roast all our coffee beans in small artisanal batches each day to preserve freshness and consistency. All ground coffee is ground to order just before shipping, so you can be assured your coffee has arrived as fresh as possible.

The majority of our coffees are medium roasted as a standard, unless otherwise stated on the product page.

Please contact us if you have any questions about our coffees or the way we roast.

Wild Toucan Geisha Coffee

The world's largest private collection of coffee varietals

Coffea Diversa Garden

Tucked away in Costa Rica’s remote Biolley District, Coffea Diversa is unlike any other coffee estate. Known as "Jardin Botanica de Cafe", the farm to the world’s largest private collection of coffee species, botanical varieties, and cultivars. With over 200 in total, it is a living archive of global coffee biodiversity.

Founded by Gonzalo Hernandez, one of the world’s leading coffee varietal specialists, the estate describes itself as a ‘coffee garden’ where rare heritage species, many of them near-forgotten, are cultivated with extraordinary care. Coffea Diversa is more than an estate - It is a living reference for the world’s rarest and most distinctive coffee varieties.

The estate’s location is as remarkable as its collection - Nestled at the confluence of the Atlantic and Pacific climates and situated within a pristine biodiversity corridor near La Amistad International Park. This interplay of altitude, volcanic soil, and unique microclimate produces coffees of striking complexity and clarity.

Coffea Diversa also holds the unique distinction of being the only coffee farm to win the full Podium of Paris, achieving Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at the prestigious AVPA competition in France.
