About this coffee
Here's a vibrant fan favourite from MiCafe Trading, a small importer that brings coffee to the UK from their own farm (El Jaragual) as well as coffees grown by their friends. This is one of the most remarkable we've received from them so far, and everyone in the team tasting loved it: Em thought it tasted like Aperol Spritz, and Will said it was like Chinotto soda. It's sweet and fun with citrusy notes and the slightest pleasant bitterness (think pink grapefruit).
A year and a half ago, Edinson Argote and Ángela Rojas joined forces to create the Quebraditas project, which includes two farms – Chorro Alto and Quebraditas. Ángela had left her home to study nursing, but ultimately returned home during the COVID-19 pandemic and decided to stay, leaving her nursing career for a life in coffee.
Quebraditas is a family-run project dedicated to producing premium coffee with standout and reproducible sensory profiles thanks to their fermentation processes, including thermal shock and yeast inoculation. They also focus on agronomic management and soil care (strategic shading, use of organic matter, maintenance of soil pH and calcium) that allows them to increase the potential of each crop.
