El Diamante Geisha

Some feelings never get old, and your first sip of El Diamante Geisha is surely one of them! Think of a Swedish cinnamon bun in liquid form, with fruity notes of peach and red apple. Complex, tasty, and a little floral. Because we secured an awesome deal, it’s now offered at a sharper price point than ever—€5 cheaper than the last batch—so we encourage everyone to grab a bag of this gem. Believe us, we love this one, and it’s truly remarkable.

Thank you once again, Esteban, we’re in love with your work!

Collaboration

After his visit at the Keen HQ last summer, Esteban reached out to us that he got his hands on another exceptional geisha lot. This time it was farmed by Esnider Rodriguez. Needless to say we were on the tip of our chairs, excited to taste what notes would unfold this time.

Besides Cinnamon we found flavours of Peach, Red Apple, Cane sugar, Lime, and Sweet Pastry. Esnider, who took over the farm from his dad, renovated the farm in 2014, after which he started cultivating varieties that are recognized for their excellent cup. (such as Geisha, San Roque and Pacamara). This coffee undergoes ‘Anaerobic diamante fermentation’ in airtight tanks for 40 hours, after which it gets naturally dried on raised African beds.

For those who don’t know the connection between us and Esteban: He feels like one of our ‘day-one’ partners when it comes to direct trades, we lost count on how many different varieties we’ve roasted by this legend, we competed world brewers cup finals with one of his geisha’s and even have a secret surprise for you from his hand later this year, stay tuned!
