This microlot honey coffee come from Sonia Janamejoy in Aponte, Nariño. Her farm, La Loma, is located near the town center, and is planted in Caturra, Variedad Colombia and Castillo. Her farm is just 2 hectares, and just she and her two children are able to manage the harvest themselves. The people of Aponte are of Inga decent, a pre-Colombian ethnic group related to the Incas, their native tongue being Inga Kichwa. Aponte is located in a misty páramo region of very high altitude. The farmers in this growing region grow mainly Caturra, Castillo, and Variedad Colombia cultivars, the latter being disease resistant hybrids known for high production. The remote location and far reach from the Colombian government has made it a desirable area for growing illegal poppy crops too. But outside interest in coffee from this area and the competitive prices being paid have made coffee an attractive alternative. Sonia's farm sits at 1900 meters above sea level, and he honey processes all of his coffee. An interesting aspect about coffee from this region is that honey processing is the standard. Each producer handles their own processing at home too, which can mean quite a bit of flavor variation from one neighbor to the next. After pulping the coffee, she lets the wet seeds ferment for 2 days in a tank without water before moving to the drying beds.
