Colombia, Edinson Argote (Ombligon)

£24.00

Caribbean rum, pineapple, passionfruit

By far our most progressive “standout” coffee to date. This is a competition coffee and it not for the faint hearted. Ombligon is a rare Colombian varietal. Renowned for its bright tropical fruit notes and winey acidity. This alone fetches a high cup quality but combined with modern processing (more info below) we find an elevated expression of this vare varietal. Bursting with tropical fruits, spiced rum. This coffee is big, funky, fruity & boozy. Aroma alone will haver you reaching for another cup.

Edinson Argote

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. He decided to leave his home when he was 11 years old and started working in different places. When he was 18 years old he joined the army where he completed 18 months of service.

His real introduction to specialty coffee came after completing his army service at 20 years of age when he worked for his cousin at a local coffee buying station in Acevedo- Huila, loading and unloading coffee. It was during this time that Edinson developed a keen interest in coffee cupping, pursuing courses to enhance his sensory skills.

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.
