Aponte Village

This Colombian single-origin comes from the Nariño region, where high-altitude farms produce beans known for their bright acidity and layered sweetness. The honey processing method leaves some of the coffee cherry's natural fruit mucilage on the beans during drying, which creates a flavor profile that bridges the gap between washed and natural coffees.

The cup delivers bright cherry notes up front, followed by a floral honey sweetness that carries through the middle. The finish brings roasted chocolate malt depth that balances the fruit without overwhelming it. The processing method creates a rounder body than you'd get from a typical washed Colombian, while keeping the clarity and definition that high-altitude Nariño coffees are known for.

Each sleeve contains eight individually frozen capsules designed to brew with Cometeer's system. The freezing process happens within hours of roasting, then the capsules stay frozen until you're ready to brew. You melt a capsule in hot water for a standard cup, or use it as concentrate for iced coffee, lattes, or cold brew-style drinks.

The honey process requires careful timing during the drying phase, since the sticky mucilage layer makes the beans more prone to fermentation if not monitored closely. When done well, it produces a coffee that carries fruit-forward sweetness without the funk that sometimes shows up in natural-processed coffees. This version leans into the cherry and honey tones while maintaining the clean finish that makes it work as an everyday cup.
