Colombia Honey Aponte
From the high-altitude mountains of Aponte, Nariño, Colombia, this exceptional Honey-Processed coffee is produced by smallholder indigenous growers working at elevations between 1,700 and 2,100 meters.
The Honey process brings together the clarity of a washed coffee with the sweetness and fruit character often associated with natural processing. In the cup, expect a bright and juicy profile with notes of grapefruit, guava, stone fruit, and caramel, followed by a smooth sweetness and balanced finish.
This is a beautiful representation of specialty coffee from Nariño high grown, vibrant, sweet, and complex, with a distinctive fruit-forward character that makes it a great choice for anyone looking to explore something beyond a traditional Colombian profile`
Some of our crew in Captain's Coffee that cupped the Aponte Honey lot reported profiles including apricot, peach, marzipan, floral notes, red apple, blood orange, treacle, and honey-like sweetness.
Colombia Aponte Honey is a high-grown specialty coffee from Aponte, Nariño, one of Colombia's recognized regions for distinctive, high-quality coffees. The coffee comes from smallholder indigenous producers farming at approximately 1,700–2,100 meters above sea level.
The Honey process is particularly interesting here. The coffee cherries are depulped while retaining some of the sticky mucilage around the seed before drying. This processing method can create a cup that combines the clean acidity of a washed coffee with additional sweetness, fruit character, and body.
Reminder! This coffee is raw, you must roast it before brewing
