Coffee Details

About This Coffee

Quebradón comes from Palestina, a mountain municipality in Huila long regarded as one of Colombia's coffee-growing paradises. In the 1930s and 1940s, growers from across the country migrated here in search of better land, and today most farms are worked by second- and third-generation families alongside avocado and cattle.

This lot brings together 36 smallholders whose washed coffee is consistently clean and sweet. Cocoa takes the lead, carried by a rich, almost velvety body that reads like delicate chocolate mousse — the classic, approachable Colombian profile, dialled in for espresso.

How to Brew Colombia Quebradón Espresso

Built as a medium-roast espresso, it also shines as an everyday filter. Here is a reliable filter starting point taken from our brew notes — adjust to taste.

For espresso, start around an 18g dose pulling a balanced double shot. If the cup tastes sharp or thin, grind a touch finer; if it turns bitter or heavy, grind coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At roughly 18g per espresso, a 350g bag makes about 19 shots and a 1kg bag about 55 — enough to keep a daily ritual going for weeks. Quebradón only comes around now and then, so it is a fine bag to slow down and enjoy while it lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
It is roasted for espresso, where its cocoa richness and creamy body really shine. It still brews a lovely, smooth filter cup, so the same bag works for both an espresso machine and a pour over.

What does Colombia Quebradón taste like?
Think chocolate and cocoa with a rich, mousse-like body. Acidity is gentle and the finish is smooth, making it an easy, all-day coffee rather than a bright or fruity one.

How fresh is the coffee?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. These beans are at their best around one to two weeks after roasting, so you receive them right in their sweet spot.

How should I store it?
Keep the beans in their bag, sealed, somewhere cool, dark and dry — away from heat, sunlight and the fridge. Grind just before brewing for the sweetest, most aromatic cup.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. We offer free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80, roasted fresh in Kuala Lumpur and sent straight to your door.
