Description
La Quebraditas Coffee Farm is a family-run project deeply rooted in the tradition and culture of Colombian coffee. Located in the municipality of Oporapa, in the Huila department, the estate covers about 18 hectares in the heart of the Macizo Colombiano, an area renowned for the fertility of its volcanic soils, its balanced microclimates, and the presence of native forests that help preserve biodiversity.
Led by producer Edinson Argote, the farm combines artisanal expertise with scientific innovation. In addition to cultivating traditional varieties such as Typica and Bourbon, it focuses on exotic cultivars like Typica Mejorado, a varietal that blends elegance, aromatic complexity, and structure. Every stage of production is guided by strict protocols and advanced agronomic practices, with special attention to soil health, strategic shade management, and environmental sustainability.
The impact of the project goes far beyond the quality of the coffee itself: Quebraditas Coffee Farm supports local families, generating a positive social impact through fair employment and creating a model of equitable and regenerative development.
For this microlot of Typica Mejorado Washed, only the ripest cherries are hand-picked and carefully selected through floatation to ensure that only the densest and healthiest fruits are used. A controlled fermentation then follows, carried out in sealed bags or tanks, during which the beans are closely monitored to achieve the desired aromatic development. After fermentation, the cherries are mechanically depulped; the beans, still covered with mucilage, are immersed in water tanks with selected yeasts that enhance the complexity of the aromatic profile. The process ends with a thermal shock—by adding water at 60°C—which stabilizes fermentation, enhances sweetness, and defines the most delicate floral and fruity notes.
Drying takes place slowly and evenly on raised beds in ventilated environments to preserve the finest characteristics of the coffee.
In the cup, the result is a refined and complex coffee, bursting with aromas reminiscent of a tropical fruit salad — passion fruit, maracujá, and red guava — with a long, lingering finish of candied peach and rosemary.
The combination of terroir, altitude (around 1,850 m a.s.l.) and meticulous processing makes this coffee one of the most elegant expressions of the Macizo Colombiano. Perfect for filter brewing methods such as V60, Chemex, or batch brew, yet equally impressive as a sweet-profile espresso, the Colombia Finca La Quebraditas – Typica Mejorado Washed embodies the essence of contemporary Colombian coffee: innovation, identity, and a profound connection to the land.
