{"product_id":"columbia-magnum-sidra-1kg","title":"COLOMBIA MAGNUM SIDRA 1KG","description":"Colombia Magnum Sidra is the newest expression of our direct partnership with Elias and Shady Bayter, the producers behind El Vergel Farm in Fresno, Tolima. We have worked together since 2022, building what has become one of the most important, consistent and diverse relationships in our portfolio. From approachable and balanced lots to highly expressive experimental coffees, the Bayter family continues to impress us through the range and precision of their work.\n\nFor this lot, Sidra cherries grown at 1,450 metres above sea level underwent a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation in tanks with mosto collected from a fermented Java coffee. Also known as lixiviate, mosto is a liquid by-product naturally released by the cherries during fermentation and contains concentrated populations of yeasts, bacteria and other microorganisms. When introduced into a new batch, it acts much like a fermentation starter, helping the process develop more efficiently while increasing aromatic complexity and highlighting the coffee’s flavours.\n\nFollowing fermentation, the coffee went through a carefully controlled two-stage drying process. It was first mechanically dried in silos for two to four days at controlled temperatures, stabilising the cherries and preventing excessive fermentation. The coffee was then dried under the sun for approximately 18 days before resting inside GrainPro bags for a further 30-day stabilisation period ahead of the final milling.\n\nThe result is an expressive coffee, combining Sidra’s elegant character with the energy of an advanced fermentation. In the cup, it reveals the dense sweetness of wild strawberry jam, the freshness of red apple and rich layers of raisins and cherries. Another distinctive El Vergel release that perfectly represents the direction of our partnership: diversity, innovation and coffees with truly memorable flavour identities.","brand":"Gem de fragi, Mar rosu, Stafide, Cirese","offers":[{"title":"1kg \/ Whole beans","offer_id":47409798447273,"sku":"FDC-2617","price":571.9,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/8563\/6777\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-09-01at13.52.37_1.jpg?v=1788270622","url":"https:\/\/dropshot.coffee\/en\/products\/columbia-magnum-sidra-1kg","provider":"Dropshot Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
