Coffea Diversa — A Living Coffee Library

Coffea Diversa is unlike any other coffee farm in the world. Founded by botanist and coffee researcher Willem Boot, it functions as a living genetic library — home to over 1,000 coffee varieties from across the globe, cultivated and studied on a single estate in the highlands of Costa Rica and Guatemala.

The farm's mission is the preservation and exploration of coffee biodiversity. Varieties are grown side by side under controlled conditions, allowing for direct comparison of genetics, processing, and terroir. The result is coffees with documented provenance, exceptional genetic purity, and extraordinary cup quality.

The Corona selection is one of Coffea Diversa's most celebrated Geisha expressions — grown from carefully selected genetics and processed with the precision that defines the farm's approach. Each lot is small, traceable, and harvested at peak ripeness before undergoing meticulous washed processing.

Washed Process

In washed processing, coffee cherries are pulped and the fruit mucilage is removed through fermentation and washing before the beans are dried. This method produces a cleaner, more transparent cup that highlights the coffee's intrinsic variety character and terroir rather than processing-derived fruit notes.

For Geisha, washed processing is the traditional benchmark — it removes all distractions and lets the variety's extraordinary floral aromatics, refined acidity, and tea-like clarity speak for themselves. Coffea Diversa's meticulous water management and fermentation control ensure exceptional consistency lot to lot.

Brewing Recommendations

This washed Geisha is best brewed with methods that emphasize clarity, delicacy, and floral aromatics:

Pour-over (V60, Origami, Kalita Wave)
Chemex for a clean, classic expression
Flat-bottom brewers for balanced sweetness

Brew at 200–205°F with a medium-fine grind. Serve in a tulip-shaped cup or wine glass to fully experience the aromatic complexity.
