EDINSON ARGOTE GESHA

About This Coffee

In honor of Newbery Street recently winning an Honorable Mention and earning one of the highest scores in the 2025 Global Coffee Awards with Edinson Coffee in the Filter category, we are celebrating this achievement together. Edinson Argote is a young and passionate coffee producer who is constantly working to raise the standard of coffee through experimental processing. He lost his mother at the age of three and was raised by his sister. At just eleven years old, he left home to gain real work experience and later joined the army at eighteen. After completing his service, he entered the world of specialty coffee at twenty, working at his cousin’s coffee buying station in Acevedo, Huila. It was there that his curiosity and passion for coffee truly began. He started with sensory training and quickly grew his skills through hands-on experience and mentorship. Working with some of the most innovative farms in the Cauca region, Edinson became head of quality and processing control. Now he’s applying all that knowledge on his own farm, experimenting with new methods and processing techniques to push coffee quality even further. At Quebraditas Coffee Farm, a project he runs with his family, Edinson cultivates rare and exotic varieties including Gesha, Bourbon Sidra, Ombligon, Eugenoides, Chiroso, and Laurina. His story is one of resilience, family, and a deep drive to elevate coffee through quality and innovation. This lot is a Gesha processed with a hybrid washed method. The cherries underwent three days of anaerobic fermentation, bringing out a bright profile of lychee and red fruit. A cold washing process followed, helping to preserve the delicate floral aromatics and create a clean, refreshing finish. The result is a juicy and vibrant cup with candy-like sweetness and a silky mouthfeel.
