This Ethiopian coffee comes from the Worka Sakaro Washing Station in Gedeb, sourced from over 400 smallholder farmers. Grown at 2,000–2,200 meters elevation on steep mountain slopes, the coffee features varieties Kumie, Siga, and Wilsho. The beans undergo an anaerobic natural process: cherries are sealed in plastic bags flushed with carbon dioxide and nitrogen for 3–7 days of controlled fermentation, then dried on raised beds. This experimental method produces fruit-forward sweetness with floral depth and complex flavor.
Based in Greenville, South Carolina, Junto Coffee was founded with the belief that coffee is a catalyst for community. The name "Junto," inspired by Benjamin Franklin's club for mutual improvement, reflects their mission to bring people together. They source high-quality, seasonal coffees and roast them to be sweet and approachable, creating a welcoming space for conversation and connection.
