Introducing: Colombia La Quebraditas Bourbon Sidra Thermal Shock Washed

Colombia La Quebraditas Bourbon Sidra Thermal Shock Washed

This extraordinary coffee from Quebraditas Coffee Farm in Oporapa, Huila, is a testament to the artistry of innovative Colombian coffee production. Cultivated by Edinson Argote, a producer dedicated to rare varieties and cutting-edge processing methods, this Bourbon Sidra undergoes a meticulously controlled Thermal Shock Washed process—an approach that enhances clarity and complexity while unlocking an intense fruit-forward character.

It’s the kind of washed coffee that will have you second-guessing whether it’s a natural—bursting with fruitiness yet impeccably clean, a perfect balance of vibrancy and precision. This is the type of coffee that made us fall in love with coffee, the kind that makes you pause and ask, “Coffee can taste like this?!”

Tasting Notes

This lot delivers a stunningly aromatic experience from the first sip. Passion fruit and lychee lead the way, followed by an elegant floral complexity reminiscent of jasmine and rose water. Layers of juicy tropical fruit and florals give way to a silky milk chocolate body, creating a cup that is both indulgent and refreshing. As it cools, the florals become even more pronounced, while the fruit remains lively and expressive. The finish is crisp, clean, and endlessly inviting, with a lingering sweetness that keeps you coming back for more.

Producer & Farm

More than just a coffee, this lot represents the dedication of Edinson Argote, a producer who has overcome incredible challenges to transform Quebraditas Coffee Farm into a hub for specialty coffee innovation. The farm, located between 1600-1850 MASL, spans 18 hectares, with 10 dedicated to traditional varieties and an entire section being developed exclusively for exotic coffees such as Geisha, Bourbon Pointu, Wush Wush, Sudan Rume, and more.

Sustainability and agronomic precision are at the core of Quebraditas' philosophy. Their farming practices emphasize soil health, strategic shading, organic matter integration, and meticulous pH management, all of which enhance cup quality from the ground up. Their commitment to fermentation science and processing innovation results in coffees that are both unique and replicable—a true reflection of terroir and technique.
