Coffee Description
Just in time for spring, this coffee is bright, juicy, and refreshing. When warm, we taste heavy stone fruit reminding us of peach and apricot, with additional qualities of white tea. As it cools, you’ll be met with tropical notes reminiscent of fresh kiwi and passionfruit, while retaining a tea-like body.
Caturra cherries (70% ripe, 30% under-ripe) undergo a multi-stage fermentation process. They first oxidize for 48 hours at 25°C, followed by 20 hours of anaerobic fermentation at 16–18°C. After a second oxidation phase (28 hours, 36°C) and another anaerobic fermentation with microbial mossto (18 hours, 16–20°C), the cherries are depulped and soaked in 45°C mossto for 18 hours. Finally, the beans dry on solar beds for 18–24 days, then rest in sealed bags for 15 days, ensuring even drying and protection from the elements.

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.
