Coffee Description
This wonderful coffee comes to us from Diego Bermudez and the team at INC. green traders, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to your craft. Creamy, tropical, and overall sweet. This coffee is for those that appreciate the sweeter things in life. We love this coffee for its beautiful texture, coating sweetness, and easy drinking profile - we hope you will too.
Coffee cherries are harvested when ripe, then disinfected with ozone and transferred to fermentation tanks. The anaerobic fermentation process is carried out for 48hrs submerged in water. Next, the coffee is pulped and demucilaged - the mucilage and pulp are taken to the pilot plant to carry out the production of process specific yeast culture. This culture medium is then added to the fermentation tanks together with pulped coffee, where they undergo a 24hr aerobic fermentation. Once complete, a thermal shock process is carried out to stop the fermentation process. The coffee is then dried in a dehumidifier to remove moisture, thus preserving the coffee’s delicate notes, preventing over-oxidation of the coffee bean, and halting metabolic processes to mitigate over-fermentation.

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.
