Coffee Description
This caturra varietal from the Tico Pepe microlot gets its name from guava trees found in the region that contribute a distinct note to the coffee’s flavor profile. After undergoing 44 hours of anaerobic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, it is intermittently sun dried for 30 days and then stored for 2 months in grain pro for optimum maturation.

About Elias and Shady Bayter of Colombia
This is the second coffee we’ve purchased from Shady Bayter’s estate project, El Vergel. The farm is located in the mountainous department of Tolima and benefits from the nutrient-rich soil of the inactive volcano it sits upon. Managed by himself, his brother, Elias, and their mother, Marta, El Vergel has become known as one of the biggest producers in the region since its beginnings in 1995.

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.
