Coffee Description
This natural Ethiopian is floral, fruity, and sweet. Up front, you’ll taste ripe elderberry and blackberry, with a hint of jasmine in the aroma. As it cools, a smooth butterscotch sweetness comes through. It’s sweet, vibrant, and easy to love. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

About Smallholders of Suke Werekata Kebele of Ethiopia
Uraga, located in Ethiopia’s Guji Zone within the Oromia region, is known for producing some of the country’s most vibrant and expressive coffees. High elevations between 1,900 and 2,300 meters, coupled with diverse microclimates, rich biodiversity, and traditional organic farming methods, create ideal conditions for growing exceptional Arabica. In the village of Suke Werekata, smallholder Oromo farmers hand-harvest their coffee and intercrop with food staples like maize, barley, and ensete (“false banana”) to sustain their families and maximize land use. Most farm work is done by hand, with minimal use of fertilizers or pesticides, making these coffees organic-by-default. Cherry is delivered to a local Tracon-owned processing station, ensuring careful handling and traceability. The result is a coffee with bright acidity, floral complexity, and lush fruit character that reflects the rich land and culture of Uraga.

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.
