This sweet and distinct coffee was produced by 15 small-scale producers around the town of Aponte in Colombia’s south-west. Nestled among steep, rugged mountains, the town experiences a cool climate and high winds year-round. The soil here is exceptionally fertile, thanks to the nutrient-rich ash spread by the nearby Galeras volcano.
The producers who contributed to this lot typically grow coffee on one-hectare plots of land. At harvest time, they pick the ripe cherries and process them on-site at their own small mills.
This lot was processed using the honey method: the coffee cherries were put through a pulper, removing the skin but leaving some of the fruit pulp still intact. The coffee was then carefully dried on raised beds. Aponte’s unique microclimate is well-suited to this method, and local producers have become experts at processing this way – resulting in beautifully clean, sweet and fragrant coffees like this one.
