Produced by smallholders in rural areas in Aponte, Nariño. Most of the coffee growers Cofinet work with belong to an indigenous reserve called Aponte. Cofinet work with approximately 200 coffee growers from different associations across this region. Coffee farmers who are part of this Regional Plus program started processing honeys since 2017, these growers are pioneers processing honeys in Colombia.
They have achieved great success with this method due to the low volume of coffee they process this way. Additionally, the weather conditions are perfect. Relative humidity and tempature are very low throughout the whole year, allowing coffees to dry slowly which results in complex and delicate cup profiles.
This microlot is 100% Caturra. This variety originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It is a natural mutation of Red Bourbon. Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.
