Small Producers Of Aponte

Summary

This coffee comes from Aponte, Nariño in Colombia, produced by eight small-scale farmers including Jairo Pujimuy, Albeiro Pujimuy, Luz Mila Dominguez, Libardo Gomez, Marleny Adarme, Emilio Chasoy, Laureano Santa Cruz and Zencida Adarme. Grown on small plots around one hectare in size, the coffee thrives in fertile volcanic soils near the Galeras volcano. The Caturra and Colombia varieties are processed using the honey method: cherries are pulped with some fruit pulp left intact and carefully dried on raised beds. The coffee offers notes of molasses and red plum with a rich, buttery mouthfeel.
