Rather than pushing fermentation intensity, the focus is on clean\u003cbr\u003econversion of mucilage sugars and controlled drying, allowing the variety’s natural\u003cbr\u003efloral and citrus-driven profile to remain sharply defined.\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a coffee that is delicate yet expressive highly aromatic, structured, and\u003cbr\u003eexceptionally clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5-Step Washed Process (Controlled Fermentation + Precision Drying)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Selective Harvesting \u0026amp; Density Sorting\u003cbr\u003eOnly fully ripe cherries are handpicked, targeting optimal sugar development.\u003cbr\u003eCherries are floated to remove defects and low-density fruit, ensuring a clean and\u003cbr\u003euniform starting point.\u003cbr\u003e2. Thermal Shock (Microbial Control)\u003cbr\u003eThe cherries undergo a thermal shock with water at 50°C, reducing surface microbial\u003cbr\u003eload and stabilising the fermentation environment. This step promotes greater\u003cbr\u003econsistency and clarity in the final cup.\u003cbr\u003e3. Pulping \u0026amp; Controlled Fermentation\u003cbr\u003eAfter pulping, the coffee is placed in fermentation tanks where mucilage is broken\u003cbr\u003edown under controlled temperature conditions. The process is managed to favour\u003cbr\u003eclean, lactic-driven fermentation, enhancing florality and brightness without\u003cbr\u003eintroducing harsh or overripe characteristics.\u003cbr\u003e4. Washing \u0026amp; Density Separation\u003cbr\u003eThe coffee is thoroughly washed to remove all remaining mucilage. Water channels\u003cbr\u003eare used to separate beans by density, improving uniformity and overall cup quality.\u003cbr\u003e5. Controlled Drying (Hermetic Dehumidified Systems)\u003cbr\u003eThe parchment is dried using hermetic dehumidifier dryers, allowing for precise\u003cbr\u003econtrol over moisture reduction. This protects the coffee’s delicate aromatics and\u003cbr\u003eensures a stable, clean finish while preventing over-fermentation or environmental\u003cbr\u003evariability.\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YARDBIRD.SUPPLY","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":46465495040161,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/9998\/4289\/files\/LasFloresChirosoWhite250g_1_436ee732-8561-4e3a-9540-12cc7a58e065.png?v=1779866870","url":"https:\/\/yardbird.supply\/products\/las-flores-colombia-thermal-shock-washed-chiroso","provider":"YARDBIRD.SUPPLY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
