Coffee Description
One of our favorite Washed Ethiopian offerings we’ve had! This coffee is everything you want from a Washed Ethiopian: sweet, juicy, tea-like, and absolutely crushable. When warm, expect notes of Peach and Oolong tea. As it cools, you’ll be met with bright notes of Mandarin Orange and Bergamot, with hint of ripe Green Plum. We can’t wait for you to enjoy.
This coffee comes to us from La Baia Coffee Supply.

About Tibe Haro Wachu & Raro Nansebo Kebeles Smallholders of Ethiopia
Tibe Haro is a village (Kebele) in the Uraga district in the Guji Zone. This area is home to several hundred small farmers whose homes and farms span the area between 2,000 and 2,300 meters above sea level. Some of the highest elevations in Ethiopia. Farmers from Tibe Haro and the neighboring village of Raro Nensebo Kebele harvest coffee exclusively by hand and deliver it to the processing station owned and operated by Tracon. Farming methods in the region remain largely traditional, and Uraga farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholders because it maximizes land use and provides food for their families. Another interesting factor, most farms are also organic-by-default. Farmers in the Guji Zone typically use very little if any fertilizers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually by their immediate family when harvesting cherry.

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.
