ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
After graduating from high school, Yessica decided to take coffee-related courses. She was surprised to discover how vast the coffee world was, and how close it had always been to her life. Despite her family’s reservations about commercial coffee, she immersed herself in specialty coffee and later worked as an instructor at SENA, a public education program in Colombia.
As she grew in knowledge, Yessica began involving her brother Diego, sharing with him what she had learned. Diego gradually developed an interest as well, and together they founded Diwan Coffee, a brand created to roast and sell their own coffee. At first, it was a side project while they both worked for other coffee companies. Over time, Yessica gained experience in every aspect of the industry—cupping, logistics, purchasing, and more. When Diwan began to grow, she decided to leave her full-time job and dedicate herself fully to the business.
Three years ago, together with two friends, they acquired their own farm to develop projects and processes that would allow them to put into practice everything they had learned. Diego took on the role of overseeing fermentation processes and profiling varietals.
The cherries for this pink bourbon are first sorted and oxidized in their harvesting bags for 36 hours. Then, they are washed and transferred to plastic tanks where they undergo careful fermentation starting at 22 Brix and concluding at 8 Brix over approximately 72 hours. Following fermentation, the coffee is dried for 15 to 20 days on raised sun beds.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
We’re really excited to be working with El Mirador again for a new harvest, this time featuring a washed Pink Bourbon.
It’s a great example of how expressive terroir can be, with a wide range of flavors that feel both distinct and well integrated. Even in the dry fragrance, there’s a clear cherry blossom floral that stands out.
In the cup, it opens with a juicy, sweet navel orange before settling into clean, gentle tropical notes—think yellow starfruit. As it cools, the profile shifts toward a more pronounced stonefruit sweetness, bringing everything into a balanced, cohesive finish. Cherry blossom florals stay well present throughout the presentation.
A nuanced, expressive cup that we’ve really enjoyed spending time with.
