aponte is a caturra varietal from nariño, colombia, roasted by three marks coffee. it's processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which carries through to the cup as honey and honeycomb sweetness alongside red apple brightness. it's a clean, fruit-forward coffee with a naturally sweet structure. pour-over or filter brewing suits it well, keeping the delicate apple acidity and honey tones clear rather than muddied. dose conservatively and use water around 90-93°c to let the sweetness develop without tipping into bitterness.
