Edinson Argote is a passionate young coffee producer with extensive experience in the industry. He became an orphan aged three when his mother passed away and was brought up by his sister. He decided to leave his home when he was 11 years old and started working in different places. When he was 18 years old he joined the army where he completed 18 months of service.
His real introduction to specialty coffee came after completing his army service at 20 years of age when he worked for his cousin at a local coffee buying station in Acevedo-Huila, loading and unloading coffee. It was during this time that Edinson developed a keen interest in coffee cupping, pursuing courses to enhance his sensory skills.
Progressing in his career, Edinson gained valuable experience and mentorship while working in some of the most innovative coffee farms in the Cauca region, leading him to become the head of quality and processing control at one of these farms. Grateful for the knowledge and experience gained, he was nonetheless driven by a personal ambition to establish his own coffee farm.
In 2018, La Quebradita was acquired by Edinson and his girlfriend Luz Angela, with financial support from Angela’s father, who strongly believed in the family project. Edinson, since the age of 20 in 2016, had been dedicated to the world of coffee, focusing especially on quality aspects.
Thus was born Quebraditas Coffee Farm, a family venture with a clear focus on the production of specialty coffees. Their unique proposition lies in the creation of differentiated and replicable sensory profiles, thanks to innovative fermentation processes such as thermal shock and yeast inoculation. Additionally, their focus on agronomic management, highlighting soil care through techniques like strategic shading, the use of organic matter, pH maintenance through amendments and lime, allows them to enhance coffee quality from its cultivation. With two coffee farms located between 1600 and 1850 meters above sea level in the central mountain range, Quebraditas Coffee Farm covers a total of 18 hectares. Of these, 10 are planted with traditional varieties such as Caturra and Colombia, while they are consolidating one exclusively for varietals. Among the cultivated varieties are Eugenoides, Bourbon Pointu, Geisha, Java, Bourbon chiroso, Wush Wush, Bourbon Ají, Papayo, Pacamara, Sudan Rume, Arará, with a long-term vision of dedicating the entire land to varietals.
