{"product_id":"zarza-pacamara-natural-thermal-shock-decaf","title":"Zarza Pacamara Natural + Thermal Shock Decaf","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJonathan Gasca runs Zarza Coffee, a third-generation family project rooted in the mountains of Bruselas - known locally as the Coffee Capital of Huila. The Gasca family has built their approach around traceability, innovation and sustainability, refining every stage of production since 2022, from selective harvesting through to fermentation and drying. Beyond coffee, they've even integrated beekeeping into the farm, strengthening biodiversity and reinforcing a genuinely ecosystem-driven approach to the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis lot, grown at Bella Vista, is a natural Pacamara, and the processing behind it is unusually involved. Only fully ripe, high-Brix cherries are handpicked, then hand-sorted and floated to remove anything underripe or defective. The selected cherries undergo a controlled oxidation stage before fermentation, preparing the fruit and building aromatic complexity, followed by a whole-cherry fermentation that develops a fermentation must rich in compounds released from the fruit itself. That must is then collected and recirculated through the cherries, maintaining closer contact between fruit and fermentation liquid for a more even result and a more intense, sweeter, more complex final cup. A controlled thermal shock follows, rapidly shifting temperature to regulate the fermentation and lock in what's developed so far, before the cherries are dried whole on raised beds for 20 to 30 days, turned regularly to ensure even dehydration and prevent unwanted mould or fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOnce the coffee reaches around 10–11% moisture, it's stabilised under controlled storage conditions, allowing both moisture and sensory profile to settle before milling. From there, it's sent to Decafecol, Colombia's leading decaffeination facility, where the process is designed to strip caffeine while preserving the coffee's structural integrity, sweetness and aromatic profile - keeping the adventurous character of this lot intact in its decaffeinated form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cata","offers":[{"title":"0.5kg","offer_id":55695742534008,"sku":"ZARZA-DECAF-HALF","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":55695742566776,"sku":"ZARZA-DECAF-1","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":55695742599544,"sku":"ZARZA-DECAF-5","price":142.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/3006\/7755\/files\/ZAR_1.png?v=1790941594","url":"https:\/\/greencoffeecollective.com\/en-lu\/products\/zarza-pacamara-natural-thermal-shock-decaf","provider":"Green Coffee Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
