Origin notes

Coffea Diversa Suchitán was established by Gonzalo Hernández and José Padilla as a living botanical coffee garden rather than a conventional single-variety estate. Inspired by the original Coffea Diversa collection in Biolley, Costa Rica, they selected the volcanic highlands of Suchitán for their elevation, nutrient-rich soil and pattern of warm days and cool nights. The garden now preserves hundreds of rare coffee varieties beneath the shade of inga, avocado and native trees. Only a small number are produced as individual micro-lots, allowing their genetic character to be studied and experienced separately. Dilla Alghe Yellow is among these exceptionally limited expressions: an Ethiopian-origin variety cultivated in Guatemala and fully washed to preserve its floral clarity.

Questions before you brew

Whole beans stay fresher for longer because grinding exposes more surface area to oxygen. If you own a burr grinder, always pick beans and grind just before you brew. Choose ground only if you don't have a grinder at home. When you pick ground, tell us the brew method (espresso, filter, cafetière, AeroPress, moka) and we grind Dilla Alghe Aurum to the exact particle size for that method.
