Strawberry Co-Ferment

  • Strawberry,
  • Chocolate,
  • Caramel

Strawberry Co-Ferment is an experimental lot from Edinson Argote's 18-hectare farm in Oporapa, Huila, southwestern Colombia.

After carefully harvesting, Edinson fermented these cherries for 72 hours alongside ripe strawberries, a technique borrowed from winemaking that allows the strawberry's natural sweetness and acidity to integrate with the coffee during processing.

The result is a delightful "strawberry explosion" in every cup, perfectly balanced with the inherent, complex flavours of the coffee itself.

This is a great example of what happens when traditional expertise meets bold experimentation - a unique expression from a producer willing to explore new possibilities.

Oporapa, Huila

Quebraditas Coffee Farm is an 18-hectare farm nestled in the landscapes of Oporapa, Huila, in western Colombia. Edinson, Angela, and their family grow a range of varietals on the farm and every cup is a shining example of their dedication to exceptional coffee.

Sweet and Fruity

Expect an intense strawberry sweetness that hits immediately, delivering jammy, fruit-forward notes reminiscent of fresh berry compote. The strawberry character is prominent but never overwhelming, allowing the coffee's inherent qualities to shine through as the cup develops.

Strawberry Co-Ferment

Only the ripest cherries are selected and undergo dry pulping before an initial 24-hour fermentation. The magic happens during co-fermentation: for 72 hours at controlled temperatures below 25°C, the coffee ferments alongside ripe strawberries and specific yeasts, allowing the fruit's natural compounds to integrate with the beans before mechanical drying at 38°C.

Medium Intensity

Medium Intensity

Medium intensity with bright strawberry sweetness complemented by deep chocolate and caramel. The co-fermentation process delivers exceptional fruity notes while preserving the coffee's inherent flavour.
