Our very own Justin Bull used this coffee this year to become the 2025 U.S Brewers Cup Champion. He presented this coffee using the Hario Switch along with Sibarist B3 Hybrid filters. He used a 1zpresso ZP6 grinder and remineralized the water with APAX Labs.

His recipe was 20g of coffee to 270g of water. Water temp was 203°F and he used 2 pours. The first with the valve open as percolation, circle pouring up to 100g. At 55 seconds, he closed the valve, began the second pour as a steep. Circle pours up to 200g and then a center pour to 270g. Release at 2:10, and expect a draw down between 2:25 and 2:40 with the Sibarist Filters.

In 2018, Edinson and his girlfriend, Luz Angela, took a loan from her father to purchase La Quebradita, a beautiful coffee farm nestled in the central mountain range in Timaná. Today, La Quebradita serves as a center for coffee processing and agricultural innovation, where Edinson experiments with various techniques like yeast inoculation and soil care. His goal is to create specialty coffee with unique and reproducible flavors, and his SL28 lot is a shining example of his dedication and success.

The coffee cherries at La Quebradita are carefully picked at peak ripeness before undergoing two rounds of fermentation. The result is a truly exceptional cup of coffee that reflects Edinson's commitment to quality and innovation. First, tank fermentation for 72 hours before being spread out to partially dry. Once the expected Brix level is reached, the coffee was rehydrated for and additional 72 hours and introduced to specific yeasts. The coffee was then laid out to finish its natural drying.
