What Kross Coffee Roasters says about this coffee

Melon and orange blossom lift out of the cup first, with ripe pineapple close behind. On the sip, cherry liquor sweetness meets a crisp chardonnay edge. The body is syrupy, the acidity vibrant, and the red fruit lingers long after. Bold, juicy and beautifully lifted.

Edison Argote and his partner in life and farm, Angela, are revitalizing Finca Las Quebraditas, 18 hectares high in the mountains of Oporapa, Huila, at 1,850 masl. Here they grow SL28, bred in Kenya in the 1930s and now at home in Colombia’s high country. Dried whole as a natural, the slowly ripened cherries build sweetness and berry fruit.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
