ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

From Unblended:

Yessica and Diego are siblings from Pitalito, Huila, and the fourth generation of a coffee-growing family. Their great-grandfather began cultivating coffee as a livelihood, and their grandfather and parents continued building the tradition. Although their family was long involved in coffee, it wasn’t until Yessica explored specialty coffee through studies and teaching at SENA that she realized its full potential. She soon introduced her brother Diego to this world, and together they founded Diwan Coffee, initially as a hobby while working in other coffee companies. Over time, their passion grew into a business, leading them to leave their jobs, acquire their own farm, and develop unique processes—Diego specializing in fermentation and varietal profiling, and Yessica mastering cupping, logistics, and sourcing. Today, Diwan Coffee brings together their own production with that of allied farmers. In November 2024, they officially launched their brand, and this shipment marks their very first export together—a new chapter in a family legacy that began generations ago.

This coffee has become one of our favorites—and also one of Yessica and Diego’s. In this natural process, selection plays a key role: only the ripest cherries are picked, then fermented in open tanks for 60 hours before moving on to drying, where temperature is carefully controlled for about 20 days. The result is a cup that is spicy and vibrant, with notes of red fruits and floral tones, a creamy and balanced body, and a sweet lingering aftertaste.

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

We’re teaming up with Unblended to bring you another exciting coffee release. Natural Geshas are always a favorite of ours for their bold flavors, and this one really delivers.

It kicks off with a bright cranberry note, then shifts into a sweet, sangria-like fruitiness with just a touch of wine character. The finish is silky and creamy, with rich black cherry rounding it all out.

This coffee is lively, layered, and super enjoyable—perfect for a pourover or as a playful espresso.
