Edinson Argote is a dedicated young coffee producer with a wealth of experience. Orphaned at three and raised by his sister, Edinson left home at 11 to work various jobs. At 18, he served 18 months in the army, a stint that concluded before he turned 20.
His real break in specialty coffee began after his military service when he joined his cousin at a local coffee buying station in Acevedo-Huila. It was there that Edinson's passion for coffee cupping flourished, prompting him to pursue courses to sharpen his sensory skills. His career advanced as he gained invaluable experience and mentorship at pioneering coffee farms in the Cauca region, eventually leading him to oversee quality and processing control at one of these farms.
Now, Edinson runs Quebraditas Coffee Farm with his family, where they grow exotic coffee varieties like Gesha, Bourbon Sidra, Ombligon, Eugenoids, Chiroso, and Laurina. His journey, marked by family ties, resilience, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, embodies his commitment to pushing the boundaries of coffee quality and innovation.
The Process Unveiled:
1. Harvesting: This is carried out ensuring a minimum of 90% ripe cherry.
2. Floating: This ensures the removal of green, overripe, and dry cherries.
3. Oxidation: This is done in food-grade plastic drums for 24 hours.
4. Pulping: The cherries are pulped dry.
5. Fermentation after pulping: For 30 hours in order to remove the mucilage. The coffee is then washed at temperatures of 50°C, creating a thermal shock.
6. Fermentation: For 65 hours at temperatures below 25°C with specific yeast.
7. Fermentation completion: After 65 hours, the coffee is washed at temperatures of 5°C to seal the fermentation.
8. Drying: After the 65 hours of fermentation, the coffee goes into drying, which is carried out mechanically for 48 hours at 38°C.
9. Stabilisation: This is done in grainpro-type bags.

In our quest to minimize emissions and ultimately become a carbon and energy-negative company, we're committed to roasting our coffee using electric roasters powered by renewable energy. Eventually every bit of energy we use, from the electricity powering our coffee roasters to the battery in the laptop used to write this message, will come from renewable sources.
At the moment, we're proud to say that 30-45% of the energy we use to roast our coffee is sourced from renewable energy.

We're deeply dedicated to sustainability, which is why our bags are 100% recyclable. They're free from any ink and glue, except for the non-toxic, biodegradable ink we use for the roasting date stamp.
