Coffee Description
This microlot is 100% Caturra, a varietal that originated in Minas Gerais, Brazil. A natural mutation of Red Bourbon, Caturra produces more coffee and is more resistant to plant diseases than Bourbon.
For this coffee Andres and his team picked cherries following a strict ripeness criteria. This coffee was exposed to a 42 hours lactic fermentation. For lactic fermentation to take place, the cherries were placed inside plastic tanks for 42 hours at 22 degrees celsius. In this environment, bacteria feeds from carbohydrates and sugars from the mucilage. This leads to a higher concentration of lactic acid.

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.
