Thermal Shock Sidra: Edinson Argote

Edinson’s vast experience in growing gives this coffee notes of Turkish delight, rose and lychee.

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. His introduction to specialty coffee came after completing his army service at 20 years old, working for his cousin at a coffee buying station, loading and unloading coffee. It was during this time that Edinson developed a keen interest in coffee, pursuing courses to enhance his skills.

Now, at Quebraditas Coffee Farm, a venture he runs with his family, he cultivates exotic coffee varieties like Geisha, 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.

Edinson has worked closely with the award-winning Wilton Benitez; a well known producer whose coffees have taken the world by storm. Many of the innovative methods Edinson uses; such as Thermal Shock and Yeast Inoculation, have been inspired directly by Wilton’s advanced techniques.
