Edison Argote Papayo

19 GBP

In The Cup So complex and full of flavour that it tastes like a co-ferment, but it isn’t! We’ve tried yeast inoculated washed and natural coffees from Edison and his pals (Luz, Wilton and Jorge) but apparently this is Edison’s first advanced honey! This lot is more funky than the yeast inoculated washed coffees that we’ve had and has a really rich body with candy-like sweetness and deep, indulgent flavours. This coffee is reminding us of pomegranate, Vimto, black grape and tropical fruits like passionfruit and mango. 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.
