Yessica & Diego Parra Thermal Shock Natural Bourbon Sidra, Colombia
Yessica & Diego Parra Thermal Shock Natural Bourbon Sidra, Colombia
As fourth-generation coffee producers, Yessica and Diego turned what started as a means for livelihood into a hub for innovation and creativity. For this lot, ripe cherries were floated, then left in open tanks for 24 hours. Thermal shock is a method that involves the alternating of hot and cold water during fermentation, stressing the beans in a controlled way. This allows for more sugar absorption and intensity of sweetness.
Origin: Pitalito, Huila, Colombia
Variety: Bourbon Sidra
Process: Thermal shock natural
Only ripe cherries are harvested and floated for a second selection and left in open tanks for 24 hours.
A thermal shock process is done adding hot water for 30 minutes and later continuing with 80 hours of fermentation adding the coffee juice from the past fermentation.
Then dried in sun-bed driers for 2 to 3 weeks and sometimes, depending on the weather, finished drying in mechanical dryers.

ROASTED AND PACKED AT HEARTWOOD ROASTERY, CHAGRIN FALLS, OH
Yessica and Diego are siblings from Pitalito, Huila, and the fourth generation of a coffee-growing family. Their great-grandfather began cultivating coffee as a livelihood, and their grandfather and parents continued building the tradition. Although their family was long involved in coffee, it wasn’t until Yessica explored specialty coffee through studies and teaching at SENA that she realized its full potential. She soon introduced her brother Diego to this world, and together they founded Diwan Coffee, initially as a hobby while working in other coffee companies. Over time, their passion grew into a business, leading them to leave their jobs, acquire their own farm, and develop unique processes—Diego specializing in fermentation and varietal profiling, and Yessica mastering cupping, logistics, and sourcing. Today, Diwan Coffee brings together their own production with that of allied farmers. In November 2024, they officially launched their brand, and this shipment marks their very first export together—a new chapter in a family legacy that began generations ago. (Unblended)
