Liberica Winey

From the Coffea Diversa garden in Biolley, Costa Rica, this Liberica micro-lot represents one of the rarest and most impressive coffee species in the world. Known as the tallest coffee tree, it can grow up to 20 meters high and produces extremely large leaves, with a naturally higher caffeine content of 1.4%. Harvesting requires ladders and careful handling, reflecting the dedication and care involved in every step of production.

Processed using a winey, carbonic maceration method, this Liberica delivers a deep, velvety body with a prolonged, intense aftertaste. The cup reveals a fermented cacao aroma with unique spicy anise notes, a flavor profile found only in this species. Its medium, dry acidity balances the richness, creating a coffee that is both bold and layered.

Available in 10kg Grain-Pro bags, this micro-lot is ideal for roasters looking to offer a truly distinctive and rare experience. From tree to cup, Liberica Winey reflects Coffea Diversa’s commitment to biodiversity, innovation, and the pursuit of exceptional flavor.

What is so special about this coffee?

Liberica is unlike any other coffee species in the world — it’s a true rarity both in cultivation and in taste. While most of the world drinks Arabica or Robusta, Liberica stands apart for its unique botanical characteristics: its trees grow much taller, its cherries are larger, and its beans have a distinct teardrop shape. This rare species represents less than 2% of global coffee production, making every cup a genuine discovery. It thrives in specific microclimates where few other coffee plants can grow, resulting in a cup that reflects both its hardy nature and the diversity of its terroir.

What makes Liberica truly special, however, is its flavor — unlike anything you’d expect from traditional coffee. It carries a naturally fruity and floral fragrance, often with notes of jackfruit, honey, and dark chocolate, and a full, almost woody body that gives it remarkable depth. Each sip delivers a bold yet layered experience — a reminder that coffee can be as complex and expressive as wine. For those who seek to go beyond the familiar, Liberica offers a window into a forgotten side of coffee history, rediscovered and celebrated by connoisseurs today.

A one-of-a-kind coffee garden

Coffea diversa is home to the world's largest private coffee varietal collection, with over 800 botanical coffee varieties. It is located in one of the remotest regions of Costa Rica. A region that is not traditionally known to produce coffee because it is geographically challenging. This region, however, has one of the best micro-climate soils and altitudes to grow coffee in the world. The altitude range at the Coffea diversa garden is 1200-1350 meters above sea level.

About Coffea diversa

There is nothing similar to Coffea diversa. Like in a flower garden, where you would find many types of plants producing many different kinds of flowers, in the Coffea diversa garden, you would find many rare coffees. A unique place with the most extensive private collection of coffee in the world.

Founded in 2003 by Mr. Gonzalo Hernandez, Coffea diversa has two main gardens, one in Costa Rica and another in Guatemala. The Costa Rica garden is located in a very remote area in the Biolley district, right next to the largest nature reserve in Central America, La Amistad.
