From SCENERY

Coffees from the Inga community in Aponte town in Nariño have built up an excellent reputation, for good reason. With extremely high altitudes for Colombia (2100 MASL+), the town has specialised in producing Honey process lots as the conditions suit the drying process. With consistent quality, decent production and a specific style, it is a distinct regional style and "taste of place" (we ban use of the T word in our copy, but perhaps - PERHAPS - it could almost be justified here).

We're running this absolute belter as both a house filter and secondary Facility component, and while it might be an absolute classic, well known coffee - it's sometimes fun to take those on and provide our own spin on it. We think this is a style of lot that while it could absolutely shine at a "lightest" roaster influence, it really holds its own - and infact shows wonderful qualities - when developed further.

We're tasting:
Rich dark fruit aromatics - blackberry jam, pomegranate molasses and dried strawberry. In the cup it's got a dense body and sticky sweet character, like toffee apples, date syrup, dried cherries, and black tea. As it cools becoming distinctly milk chocolate forward, with stewed apples and rich brown butter finish.
