Coffee Description
This coffee comes to us from the indigenous Inga people of the Aponte Reservation in the lush mountains of Nariño, Colombia. Known for their delicate and complex honey process, the Aponte are a highly skilled farming community with their own dialect and culture. The cup is deliciously sweet and refreshing with a soft body and notes of green grape, ripe kiwi, and papaya.

About Aponte Indigenous Community of Colombia
This coffee was produced by the indigenous people of the Inga community in the native reservation of Aponte in Nariño, Colombia. Less than 5,000 Aponte people live on the reservation where they speak their own dialect, wear traditional clothing, and keep to ancient practices. They are descendants of Pre-Hispanic Incas and were largely separated from the rest of Colombia until late in the nineteenth century. All of the reservation's land is communally owned with family groups living on and developing their own small farm plots. The population is ruled by a “cabildo” or group of elders.

Red Rooster
Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA (pop 432), Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
