Colombia Kenny Adarme Honey

Aponte, Nariño | Caturra & Castillo | 2200 masl | Honey

When exceptional terroir meets skilled processing, beautiful things can happen. This honey-processed offering from Kenny Adarme is a delicious example of this equation. The resulting cup is sugary sweet with notes of lychee, cocoa, clove, and red apple.  

Kenny is a grower in Aponte, Nariño and a member of the Inga indigenous community, who make up the “resguardo” or reservation, of which Aponte is a part. His one hectare farm, named La Chorrera, is located at a whopping 2200 meters above sea level. Unlike many other young people in Aponte, Kenny decided to stay in his hometown and build upon the farming tradition started by his grandparents.
