An intense jammy sweetness reminiscent of confectionery candies like Turkish Delights, Swedish Berries, and red jellybeans, with a creamy mouthfeel and a long, sweet finish. In the cup: Turkish Delight, Swedish Berries, and red jellybeans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e El Paraíso and the Bermudez family are absolute geniuses when it comes to processing methodology. Rather than using standard anaerobic fermentation tanks, they use precise bioreactors, measuring everything from time, temperature, and pH to sugar content and microbial load — earning recognition as world leaders in coffee processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee cherries are harvested at optimum ripeness, then disinfected with ozone and moved to fermentation tanks for 72 hours of anaerobic fermentation. The coffee is pulped, and a culture medium is generated containing the aroma and flavour precursors developed during that fermentation. This culture medium is added to a second tank fermentation for 36 hours, fixing those precursors to the coffee beans through pressure. Finally, a thermal shock process fixes an even greater amount of precursors and seals the coffee ahead of drying. The coffee dries in a dehumidifier to preserve its soft notes and avoid over-oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis layered process — reintroducing a precursor-rich culture medium into a second fermentation, then locking it in with thermal shock — is the defining step. It's what builds the intensely jammy, candy-like sweetness that defines this cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Intensely jammy and candy-like — Turkish Delight, Swedish Berries, and red jellybean sweetness throughout, with a creamy mouthfeel and a long, sweet finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 🍬 Turkish Delight 🍬 Swedish Berries 🍬 Red Jellybeans\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"September Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 200g \/ August 25th","offer_id":58607305556342,"sku":"SEPTEMBER-PARAISO-DIEGO-BERMUDEZ-CASTILLO-THERMAL-SHOCK-FIL-200G-AUG25","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/jellybean.jpg-cropped.jpg?v=1788516962","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/de\/products\/september-coffee-co-jelly-bean-washed-thermal-shock-castillo-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
