Aponte Caturra Washed

Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Prolog Coffee says about this coffee
History
This washed Caturra is produced by smallholder families of the Indigenous Inga community of Aponte, Nariño, at approximately 2,150 meters above sea level. The high-altitude environment, cool temperatures, and mineral-rich volcanic soils support slow cherry maturation, healthy cultivation, and exceptionally sweet, complex coffees. Expect notes of brown sugar, yellow plum and apple.
Through the transition from illicit crops to specialty coffee, the community has strengthened sustainable land use, restored agricultural landscapes, and created new economic opportunities while preserving ancestral lands and biodiversity. Specialty coffee has become an important source of sustainable income, supporting Indigenous self-determination, cultural heritage, and long-term resilience for the Inga community.
Our relationship with Aponte spans five years since 2021, building on Ally Coffee’s partnership with the community since 2015 to provide reliable market access and support continued investment in quality and sustainable production.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

B Corp
“In 2022 these contemplations led us to proudly become a certified B Corporation.” their page (opens in a new tab)
Publishes a transparency report
“Every year we make a transparency report where you can see what steps we have taken and what we are currently working on.” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.
Where each fact came from
A further 3 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
