The village of Aponte is located in Narino in southwestern Colombia. It is one of the highest regions in the Colombian Andes. Keny Adarme is a third generation grower, and his father, Fernando, is a one of the town leaders. Keny switched his farm away from fully-washed processing to honey processing when he saw the higher quality and prices his neighbors were receiving for their experimental lots. Keny has become a vocal advocate for coffee growing and experimental processing in the area. Many of indigenous Inga people are leaving to cities in order to find work, but Keny hopes to preserve the village and their culture through coffee.

Honey processing is a blend of washed and natural processing techniques. First, perfectly ripe coffee is picked by hand and then it is run through a depulper to remove a majority of the flesh of the coffee cherry. There is a sticky mucilage layer that remains covering the seed. The coffee is laid to dry in the sun for several weeks, being turned meticulously. The dry husk is then hulled from the seed leaving a green coffee bean. The flavor is sweet and fruity, but clean and crisp.
