In The Cup

This is another crazy flavour bomb from the young genius, Edison Argote! Combining the naturally fruity and complex Kenyan variety, SL28 with his advanced washed process with yeast inoculation and thermal shock, this coffee is a belter.

The Story

Edinson Argote is a young coffee producer from the Huila region of Colombia who grew up on his family’s farm, Quebraditas, where coffee farming has supported the family for generations. Together with Ángela Rojas, he has helped transform the farm into one of the region’s most exciting specialty coffee projects, combining traditional cultivation with highly technical and experimental processing methods. Much of Argote’s knowledge has come through years of hands-on experimentation, collaboration with other producers and exporters, and a genuine fascination with fermentation science and post-harvest processing.   Today, he is particularly recognised for his work with controlled fermentations, thermal shock processing, and yeast inoculation, using carefully monitored methods to better control and refine each stage of processing. Alongside this focus on innovation, sustainability also plays a major role at Quebraditas, with careful attention paid to soil health, water usage, and responsible farm management. The project also places strong importance on supporting local employment and helping create a more sustainable future for younger generations involved in coffee production across the region.
Technical Stuff

SL28 is one of the most well-known and respected coffee varieties to come out of Kenya, originally selected by Scott Laboratories in the 1930s as part of a wider programme researching drought-resistant and high-quality coffee cultivars. Despite its age, it remains highly sought after throughout the specialty coffee world due to its resilience, deep root structure, and ability to thrive at high altitudes. In the cup, SL28 is often associated with bright acidity, structured sweetness, and distinctive notes of blackcurrant, citrus, and red fruit, characteristics that have helped establish its long-standing reputation within specialty coffee.

Below is a summary, that Edison has provided, of how he processes this lot:

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 16 hours in order to remove the mucilage. The coffee is then
washed at temperatures of 50°C, creating a thermal shock.
6. Fermentation: For 72 hours at temperatures below 25°C with specific yeast. The coffee is then
washed at temperatures of 5°C to seal the fermentation.
7. Drying: the coffee goes into drying, which is carried out mechanically for 76 hours at 38°C.
8. Stabilisation: This is done in grainpro-type bags
