NEW – El Diamante Geisha

The new El Diamante Geisha is here, and it’s the cleanest, brightest expression we’ve tasted yet.

Produced by Esnider Rodriguez and crafted using Esteban’s signature Diamante anaerobic process, the new crop brings a brighter, cleaner expression to a Keen favourite. After 40 hours of controlled fermentation and slow natural drying, the cup opens with crisp red apple, gentle brown spice, and a lifted vanilla sweetness.

Silky, elegant, and strikingly vibrant, it’s a refreshed take on a coffee that has meant so much to us over the years – familiar in its warmth, yet excitingly new in its clarity.

Collaboration

Our long-standing collaboration with Esteban Villalobos at Café de Altura has shaped many of our most memorable releases, and El Diamante Geisha remains one of its brightest results. This year’s lot continues our partnership with producer Esnider Rodriguez, who has spent the last decade refining his family’s renovated farm to focus on exceptional varieties like Geisha, Pacamara, and San Roque. His careful cultivation and the cool, elevated microclimate of Tarrazú provide the perfect foundation for this coffee’s clarity and natural sweetness.

What sets this harvest apart is the refinement in process and result. The cherries undergo 40 hours of Diamante anaerobic fermentation – a method Esteban has honed through years of experimentation – before being dried naturally with extra care to airflow and uniformity. The outcome is a noticeably cleaner, more vibrant profile than previous seasons, offering lifted fruit, a silky structure, and remarkable precision in the cup.

For us, this is the beauty of long-term collaboration: year after year, Esnider and Esteban continue to elevate what this coffee can be. If you’ve loved El Diamante Geisha before, this new crop will surprise you in the best possible way.
