This coffee is a testament to meticulous processing techniques designed to unlock its exceptional flavour profile. Beginning with a careful harvest of cherries, with over 90% perfectly ripe, the journey continues through hand-sorting and floating to ensure only the finest fruit progresses. The cherries then undergo innovative fermentation processes, including controlled oxidation and the use of a maceration starter made from exotic varieties like Geisha and Sidra. These steps infuse the coffee with vibrant secondary aromas while maintaining its crisp, clean character.

The fermentation process, lasting 36 hours under tightly controlled temperatures, uses specialised yeasts to enhance complexity. After fermentation, the coffee is washed in thermal shock stages—hot and cold water rinses—to seal in the rich aromatic compounds developed during processing. This intricate care creates a cup bursting with sweet floral notes of Turkish delight, crisp acidity, and a deep, structured flavour with a creamy mouthfeel and a lingering, clean finish.

By bridging traditional methods with modern innovation, this coffee’s processing elevates its natural characteristics to new heights. Each step in the journey from cherry to cup is designed to bring out its remarkable balance of complexity and elegance, resulting in a truly unforgettable sensory experience.

Name Edinson Argote
Location Quebraditas, Cauca See on a map

Edinson Argote’s story is one of resilience and determination. Orphaned at just three years old and raised by his sister in Huila, Colombia, Edinson left home at 11 to support himself, taking on work wherever he could. By 18, he joined the army, completing 18 months of service. Afterward, a chance job at a local coffee buying station in Acevedo sparked his passion for coffee. Loading and unloading coffee sacks turned into a fascination with cupping, and Edinson pursued courses to refine his sensory skills, beginning his journey into specialty coffee.

Eager to deepen his knowledge, Edinson worked on some of Cauca’s most innovative coffee farms, gaining hands-on experience and mentorship in quality control and processing. Rising to the role of head of quality and processing control, Edinson was grateful for the expertise he had gained but was driven by a greater ambition: to build something of his own. His vision was to establish a farm where he could combine his skills with a focus on producing exceptional coffee.

Today, Edinson runs Quebraditas Coffee Farm with his family, cultivating exotic varieties like Gesha, Bourbon Sidra, Ombligon, Eugenoids, Chiroso, and Laurina. His farm reflects not only his dedication to quality but also his innovative approach to coffee production. Edinson’s journey, shaped by hardship and fueled by ambition, is a testament to his commitment to crafting extraordinary coffee that stands out on the global stage.
