Brewing

Incredibly versatile coffee with unique flavour profile, depending on the brewing method and extraction time it can either taste like a rich coconut and vanilla dessert or a zesty tropical juice.

Despite its advanced, high intervention processing method, this coffee retains high clarity and of flavour uniform structure. It benefits from higher agitation and/or longer contact time.

For best results we recommend purchasing whole bean and grinding fresh before brewing. If you don’t have a grinder, we can grind to your preferred brewing method prior to shipping.

Description

About

In the heart of Oporapa, Huila, a municipality located in Colombia’s most coffee-rich region, Quebraditas Coffee Farm was born — a family project with deep roots in Colombian coffee culture. They grew up handpicking cherries, perfecting processes, and learning that excellence is cultivated from the soil. Their specialty is producing microlots with distinctive and replicable sensory profiles, thanks to techniques such as controlled fermentation, thermal shock, and selected yeast inoculation. In addition, they care for the ecosystem through strategic shade, organic management, and soil conservation — ensuring both quality and sustainability.

Processing

Step 1 – Selective Hand Harvesting

Harvesting is carried out ensuring a minimum of 80% ripe cherries. This guarantees the removal of green, overripe, and dry cherries.

Step 2 – Floating

The floating process removes low-density cherries and impurities.

Step 3 – Oxidative Fermentation

After oxidative fermentation has been applied for 24 hours, yeast and tropical fruit: passion fruit, coconut and lemon peel are added to the coffee containers and are submerged together for further 72 hours.

Step 4 – Drying

After the second stage of fermentation, the coffee is moved to the drying phase, which is slowly conducted for approximately 76 hours at an average temperature of 40°C.

Step 5 — Stabilization

Stabilization is carried out using GrainPro bags.
