Coffee Description
This coffee was directly sourced from Rafael Vinhal and his family’s estate, thank you for all your hard work and tireless dedication to your craft. Juicy, candy-like, with cozy chamomile undertones, this coffee is truly a unique flavor experience. When warm, we get notes of classic purple grape juice, with a finish reminiscent of pink bubblegum. As it cools, a brighter acidity starts to shine through, reminding us of red grape juice, while still retaining a lingering candy-like sweetness. This coffee has been a ton of fun to work with, so we hope you enjoy.

About Rafael Vinhal of Brazil
Coffee cherries are harvested and floated to select ripe cherries. After the cherries are selected, they undergo a 58hr dry aerobic fermentation, followed by a thermal shock to halt fermentation. Once complete, cherries then undergo an anaerobic fermentation of 180hrs, then another thermal shock. Cherries are then depulped, leaving the mucilage completely in-tact, and undergo a final anaerobic fermentation of 120hrs. Finally, the coffee is left to dry on raised beds for a period of 20 days.

Junto Coffee
The dream of long-time coffee professional, Alex Medina, Junto opened its doors in February of 2019. We’re a minority owned company that focuses on both providing intentionally sourced, exceptional products and working with importers and exporters that pay producers a premium for their coffees.
Our founder’s experience in coffee importing has compounded our understanding of the importance of building long-term relationships with producers to guarantee our continued support and ambassadorship of their coffee. Our goal is to cultivate both existing relationships and build new ones with regions that are underrepresented because we know how important it is for all producers to be able to sell their coffees.
Junto was founded with the belief that coffee has the unique ability to bind folx of vastly different origins and creeds. We are driven to honor that by roasting to highlight the inherent qualities of each remarkable coffee and continually creating space for shared experiences and common purpose.
