Aponte

The indigenous tribe Inga Aponte were for a long time forced by guerrilla groups to cultivate coca in their territory and they have historically also been driven away from their place of origin. Today, through efforts by state and the governor of the Inga Aponte they aspire to produce the Colombian Caturra variety. The soils of the Narino region are made up of volcanic ash and the area is highly elevated with lower temperatures than average. This unique terroir gives long maturation and excellent growing condition for the coffee trees. 

We have been buying coffee from the Aponte community several times. The first time, ten years ago. We are as excited now as we where back then to share it with you.
