These compounds contribute to the coffee’s fruit-forward profile, while the breakdown of the cherry’s high sugar content helps create more vibrant aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring fermentation, a constant nitrogen flush removed CO2 from the tank, preventing the formation of carbonic acid, which can lead to astringency. This helps preserve the coffee’s clarity, sweetness and velvety structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter fermentation, the coffee was removed from the tanks and dried slowly over six to eight weeks, allowing a carefully controlled dehydration to protect the quality of the final cup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assembly Coffee London","offers":[{"title":"50g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56714160800130,"sku":"MAURICIO2650","price":43.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56714160832898,"sku":"MAURICIO26100","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56714160865666,"sku":"MAURICIO26200","price":119.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0193\/3393\/9299\/files\/Colombia_MauricioShattah_Productimage_01.jpg?v=1781685411","url":"https:\/\/assemblycoffee.co.uk\/products\/colombia-mauricio-shattah-sidra","provider":"Assembly Coffee London","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
