By combining their knowledge and experience to improve production quality, Nestor, Adrian, and Jhoan have created a complete powerhouse farm that has coffees on the world stage annually. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEl Diviso provides roasters like us with such an insane amount of information on each and every lot they produce.  Here's the in depth process of this sidra lot (this is wild:)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep 1: \u003c\/strong\u003eSanitization and flotation of coffee cherries in water, allowing the removal of impurities and less dense beans. Hand selection of harvested cherries ensures that only fully ripe cherries are used for processing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep 2: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e36-hour oxidation in plastic tanks.  Followed by anaerobic fermentation in plastic bags or tanks for 48 hours at an average temperature of 17–20 °C. During this stage, leachates from the coffee cherries are collected and preserved for reuse in subsequent fermentation batches. By adding these cherry leachates, a submerged fermentation is carried out at a temperature of 17–23 °C for 36 hours, with continuous\u003cbr\u003erecirculation of the leachates. To conclude the fermentation process, a thermal shock is applied using water at an average temperature of 65–70 °C, effectively stopping the fermentation and microbial activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep 3: \u003c\/strong\u003eDrying begins in stainless steel dehumidifier systems, which allow greater control over the coffee’s moisture loss. This equipment enables precise control of the drying variables and the replication of drying\u003cbr\u003ecurves. The process takes place in a sealed, dark chamber, providing better quality control, reducing the volatilization of terpenes and natural coffee aromas, and preventing any external contamination that could affect the coffee’s quality. Maximum drying temperatures do not exceed 37 °C until the coffee reaches a final moisture content of 10–11%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStep 4:  \u003c\/strong\u003eStorage in bags with GRAINPRO liners to preserve quality and protect the coffee from moisture and external contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd there you have it.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the cup you can expect a seriously juicy and mouthwatering profile.  This coffee presents with soooo much tropical sweetness.  We get ripe mango and passion fruit up front that is complimented by a tart malic like acidity a la apple cider and lasting sweet citrus note of tangerine in the finish.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have pretty limited quantities of this truly exceptional coffee.  We live once, IYKYK, grab a bag and treat yourself to some of the most impressive coffees we've ever roasted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enjoy Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"6 oz","offer_id":67589695832338,"sku":"SQ3249054","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/9492\/7634\/files\/ENJ_BAGMOCKUP_Nestor.png?v=1790818493","url":"https:\/\/enjoycoffeeroasters.com\/products\/nestor-lasso-sidra-natural","provider":"Enjoy Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
