About the Coffee
In the Southeast of Colombia, in the region of Nariño, is where the Inga tribe lives in Aponte, which comes from the Inca civilization that expanded long ago by the Andes trails. This indigenous community has very strong pillars towards the mother earth and preserving the wildlife and their customs, it's a region that was strongly hit by the "Guerillas" in the past, and had many difficulties staying ahead of all these problems. Nonetheless, Aponte has become very famous for their production of Coffee, and most of all for their honey processes, which has brought a whole new face to their name and many opportunities to grow and preserve their lands in the best way possible. When we had the opportunity to visit them, we had the pleasure of understanding how important it is to be "the Guardians" of the earth, which as said by them, is the main reason for having good health, good family, and said by us "Very good coffee". This is our first time being able to work hand in hand with the Inga`s coffee farmers, and we are looking forward to expanding this beautiful way of producing coffees with a focus on preserving the earth.
