Sidra, with its\u003cbr\u003ecomplex lineage and Gesha-like qualities.\u003cbr\u003eAt El Diviso, the washed process is designed to enhance, not overshadow the intrinsic\u003cbr\u003equalities of the variety. Through controlled fermentation and precise drying, this\u003cbr\u003ecoffee delivers clarity, lift, and definition, allowing the Sidra’s natural intensity and\u003cbr\u003erefinement to shine.\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a cup that is both delicate and vivid highly aromatic, fruit-forward, and\u003cbr\u003eexceptionally clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5-Step Washed Process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Selective Harvesting \u0026amp; Sorting\u003cbr\u003eOnly peak-ripe cherries are handpicked to ensure optimal sugar content. The cherries\u003cbr\u003eare floated to remove defects and low-density fruit, creating a uniform starting point.\u003cbr\u003e2. Controlled Pre-Fermentation (Cherry Stage)\u003cbr\u003eWhole cherries undergo a short, controlled fermentation in sealed tanks. This step\u003cbr\u003epromotes the development of aromatic precursors while maintaining low\u003cbr\u003etemperatures to preserve clarity and avoid over-fermentation.\u003cbr\u003e3. Pulping \u0026amp; Mucilage Fermentation\u003cbr\u003eAfter pulping, the coffee is fermented in tanks where mucilage is gradually broken\u003cbr\u003edown. Fermentation is carefully monitored to favour a clean, lactic profile, enhancing\u003cbr\u003efruit definition without introducing harshness.\u003cbr\u003e4. Washing \u0026amp; Density Separation\u003cbr\u003eThe coffee is thoroughly washed to remove all remaining mucilage. Water channels\u003cbr\u003eare used to further separate beans by density, improving consistency and cup\u003cbr\u003equality.\u003cbr\u003e5. Slow Drying \u0026amp; Stabilisation\u003cbr\u003eThe parchment is dried slowly on raised beds with controlled airflow until reaching\u003cbr\u003e10–11% moisture. This gradual drying phase locks in aromatics and stabilises the\u003cbr\u003ecoffee for optimal expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow we're brewing this coffee\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe are enjoying this coffee as a pourover or batchy, using a V60 or Fellow Aiden.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater \/\/\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003cspan\u003e°\u003c\/span\u003ec\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrind \/\/\u003c\/strong\u003e Coarse, don't be afraid to max out your Grinder - \u003cem\u003e32-36 Clicks Commandante, 11 Fellow Ode G2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew Ratio \/\/ \u003c\/strong\u003e1:12 - 1:16 (We enjoy 1:12 as a starting point for our filter coffee)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePour \/\/\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 second bloom, 2 pours at equal volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YARDBIRD.SUPPLY","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":46465396015265,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/9998\/4289\/files\/ElDivisoSidraWhite250g_3a09688d-46df-4f6f-9498-06e4d5e4a792.png?v=1779866887","url":"https:\/\/yardbird.supply\/products\/el-diviso-colombia-controlled-ferment-washed-sidra","provider":"YARDBIRD.SUPPLY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
