Coffee Description
This coffee is intensely sweet and complex, truly a unique offering. When warm, we taste notes of Pomegranate juice, Dark Chocolate, and Star Anise. As it cools, you’ll be met with a sweetness of Açaí Berry and Plum wine, with a tart acidity reminiscent of Kumquat and a sweet lingering finish reminding us of a mild Licorice. We;ve had a ton of fun with this coffee, and we hope you do as well.

About Tracon & Solemo Kebele Smallholders of Ethiopia
Tracon is a family owned business who owns a total of 30 washing stations located around Ethiopia. All experimental coffees are processed at Tracon’s own washing stations. First, local farmers and brokers who collect cherries from the surrounding kebele (village) of Solemo come to the Uraga Washing Station to deliver their cherries. The washing station is managed by Awol Endris and he’s been spearheading and managing these experimental projects for Tracon in Uraga. Awol oversees cherry selection, post harvest production and compensation distribution directly to their local farming partners
Tracon’s reputation is well regarded and are no strangers among COE members globally. In 2021, Tracon chose to participate in Ethiopia’s second ever Cup of Excellence Auction and had 2 different coffees score an impressive placement in the top 20 of all the coffees submitted in the Ethiopia COE Auction. In 2021, a record-breaking number of entries 1,849 for any countrywide Cup of Excellence competition entered the competition to compete that particular year. Placing in the best of top 20 coffees produced in Ethiopia should speak volumes for itself.

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.
