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.
Now, at Quebraditas Coffee Farm, a venture he runs with his family, he cultivates exotic coffee varieties like Gesha, Bourbon Sidra, Ombligon, Eugenoids, Chiroso, and Laurina. Highlighting family ties, hard work, and a drive for progress, Edinson’s journey reflects his commitment to quality and innovation in coffee production.
Quebraditas Coffee Farm
We are Quebraditas Coffee Farm, a family project focused on producing specialty coffees with differentiated and replicable sensory profiles thanks to our fermentation processes, including thermal shock and yeast inoculation. Additionally, we employ agronomic management focused on soil care (strategic shading, use of organic matter, pH maintenance through amendments and lime) to enhance the cup quality from cultivation.
We own 2 coffee farms situated between 1600 and 1850 meters above sea level, within the central mountain range. They encompass 18 hectares, with 10 dedicated to traditional varieties like Caturra, Colombia, among others, and we are consolidating one exclusively for varietals, including Eugenioides, Bourbon Pointu, Geisha, Java, Bourbon Chiroso, Wush Wush, Bourbon Ají, Papayo, Pacamara, Sudan Rume, Arará, with a long-term vision of having the entire land dedicated to exotic varietals.
We offer our farms for visits to learn about cultivation, agronomic management, processing, and the coffee landscape of the municipality, including the opportunity for on-site cupping as we have a laboratory, ensuring transparency for you and your clients.
We are seeking more than just clients; we aim to build long-term relationships with allies and friends who understand that we operate in a constantly evolving market. Our focus is not only on exceptional sensory profiles resulting from our processes but also on terroir and variety to meet the needs of growing markets.
PROCESS
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. Oxidation after pulping: For 24 hours in order to remove the mucilage. The coffee is then washed at temperatures of 45°C, creating a thermal shock.
6. Fermentation: For 62 hours at temperatures below 25°C with specific yeast. 7. Fermentation completion: After 62 hours, the coffee is washed at temperatures of 5°C to seal the fermentation.
8. Drying: After the 62 hours of fermentation, the coffee goes into drying, which is carried out for 76 hours at average temperatures of 40°C.
9. Stabilisation: This is done in grainpro-type bags.

FORM vs FUNCTION vs LESS WASTE
We love good packaging design, but not waste. That’s why we aim for a balance between aesthetics and sustainability. Finding food-safe solutions that work across local and international recycling systems isn’t easy, but we take it seriously. For us, reuse, reduce, recycle is more than just a label.
When ordering coffee, you can choose from three packaging types:
A.M.O.C. JAR
Made from fully recyclable PET. Lightweight, durable, and made to be reused endlessly.
REFILL
A low-waste option, vacuum-packed in thin, food-grade PP without a valve or zipper. About 40% lighter than standard bags and easier to recycle. These are not retail-friendly and may lose vacuum in transit—this doesn’t affect quality. Transfer to a container after opening. Not freezer-safe unless portioned first.
KILO BAG
For larger orders, we use high-barrier packaging that protects freshness and is recyclable under certain conditions. We chose it for both performance and environmental impact.
You’ll find more on our packaging choices and sustainability approach on the about page.
ESPRESSO VS FILTER ROAST
Our filter roasts are designed for clarity and expression, but they’re great for both filter and espresso brewing. In fact, we often prefer the brighter, more expressive profile they bring to espresso.
Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are specifically developed for espresso brewing only. We don’t recommend using them for filter methods, as they’re tailored for higher extraction and a more classic cup profile.
Choose based on your taste and brew method, but know we stand behind both.
ROAST DATE
All our coffees are shipped as fresh as possible, typically within a few days of roasting. We don’t sit on a lot of stock and roast multiple times a week, so what you receive has been roasted recently, usually no longer than a 7-10 days before shipping, but it could also be roasted and shipped the same day.
You’ll find the exact roast date printed on the label. We recommend resting the coffee for a few days after roasting to allow it to degas and open up in flavour.
