Colombia Sidra Pre-Release

This specific process

This coffee stands out as one of the most unique in Yessica and Diego’s portfolio. It goes through an innovative thermal shock fermentation process, a technique that alternates hot and cold water during fermentation to stress the beans in a controlled way, allowing them to absorb more sugars and intensify their sweetness.

The Harvest
Only ripe cherries are harvested and floated, then left in open tanks for 24 hours.

The Ferment
Following a 30 minute thermal shock, cold water is added with the coffee juice or mosto from the previous fermentation. The cherries are sealed in closed tanks and fermented for 80 hours.

The Drying
Cherries are dried in sun-bed driers for 2 to 3 weeks. Depending on weather, they may finish in mechanical dryers.

But what is Sidra & why does it cost more?

Sidra is a rare, low yield, harder to cultivate Arabica coffee variety that has gained prominence for its exceptional sweetness, floral aromatics, and intense fruity flavor profile. It is highly prized in the specialty coffee market for its complexity, body, acidity, and unique character. It is increasingly used by competitors in World Coffee Championships and viewed as a variety similar in quality to the famous Gesha.

Who are Yessica + Diego Parra?

Yessica and Diego are siblings from Pitalito, Huila. As 4th gen coffee growers, their passion and love for coffee came first from their grandfather’s legacy. After many years learning and working in coffee with others, they saw an opportunity to move forward and build their own company (Diwan Coffee) focusing on social and environmental impact. At Finca El Mirador, they are dedicated to experimental processing and prized varietals. There, Diego specializes in fermentation and varietal profiling while Yessica masters cupping, logistics, and sourcing.
