From Momos:
 
"A mysterious place with its own unique language and world that is still not covered by Colombian law. Here, the Colombian Aponte farm is located at a high altitude of about 2,230m above sea level, and is not easily accessible to outsiders. It was once classified as a dangerous area where various drug production and trade took place, and the minority tribes living there suffered for a long time, but since the 2000s, all drug-related production sites have been removed, and it is currently established as a coffee production area, and is gradually changing in the hope that the products they make will benefit the world. They grow and process coffee based on the strong sunlight and cool climate at an average altitude of over 2,150m, and although it is a community lot run by local small farmers, they produce a single Caturra variety and strive to maintain the quality and consistency of their coffee. This coffee has a bright citrusy acidity that starts with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of persimmons and a juicy texture."
