Colombia Aponte Honey Rosa Villota

Red Rooster brings you this exciting micro lot, sourced from the indigenous Inga people of Aponte Village in the mountainous Nariño region of Colombia, descendants of Pre-Hispanic Incas who maintain their own dialect and ancient practices on communally owned land. Grown at 1,525 meters in nutrient-rich volcanic soil near the equator, this honey-processed coffee showcases the community's specialized cultivation techniques. Hand-picked at peak ripeness, the cherries are de-pulped while preserving their sticky mucilage, then sun-dried on raised beds for 20-45 days to develop complex flavors. This light roast reveals soft, layered sweetness with notes of hazelnut and chamomile, while navel orange and hibiscus provide bright floral lift, finishing with hints of papaya and a cooling aftertaste.
