This project started from the idea of wanting to find a home for all the beans in our roastery that are waiting for someone to enjoy them.

Currently they produce micro-lots of about 25 different coffee botanical variants.\u003cbr\u003eIn a conventional flower garden in which you find many types of plants producing many different types of flowers, in Coffea diversa Garden you will find many different types of rare coffee botanical variants, that’s why they identify themselves as a coffee garden and not a coffee farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eAlmost all of the planted arabica coffee varieties grown in the world today are genetically originated from the C. arabica Typica and C. arabica Bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eIt is because of this that the genetic composition of almost all of the arabica coffee grown all over the world has almost no differentiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eThe differences in tastes are generated by the microclimates and geographic conditions where the coffee is grown but not because of the genetic composition of the coffee plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eThe genetic uniformity within these populations is further enhanced by the predominantly self-pollinating nature of Coffea arabica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoffea diversa follows the opposite approach, they fix the terroir and plant small plots of different botanical variants in that terroir, so the differences in taste profiles are because of the genetics and not because of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eThey also believe that their approach of coffee genetic diversity is the ideal for coffee growing sustainability as you don’t have a genetically uniform population like you would have in a mono-varietal plantation which is more susceptible to pests and diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eCoffea diversa has pioneered the coffee garden botanical approach to coffee cultivation in which aspect it remains unique in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr. Padilla and Mr. Hernandez looked at several coffee regions in Guatemala and concluded that the region with the best conditions to grow outstanding quality coffee was the micro-region of Suchitan, in the eastern side of Guatemala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eFelipe Contreras from Finca Gascón, is one of the most widely know Guatemalan producers for his biodynamic practices and excellent processing, very different to the typical washed processing found in Guatemala. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"116\" data-end=\"519\"\u003eFelipe Contreras focuses on how controlled fermentation can enhance already excellent coffee.
