Juan Delgado

We first met Juan Delgado (right) in October 2021. Ramiro Pauta was introduced to Juan Delgado at a coffee conference in Ecuador. There, Juan spoke with Ramiro about his Honey Processed Coffee and his unique drying methods. In late November 2021, Arturo and Shane were able to visit Juan Delgado’s plantation and see his drying processes first hand. Since his plantation is at a very low altitude, just over 500ft, Juan and his team use the breeze from the ocean to dry their coffee beans. Furthermore, Juan and his team have found other ways to leverage the resources available to them to create a truly premium product, including a natural irrigation system that allows them to overcome any droughts. Our first import of Juan Delgado’s premium honey processed coffee came in December 2021. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Juan Delgado and his team, and we look forward to connecting them to you for years to come!

Roast Profile

MEDIUM ROAST

A medium roast is medium brown in color with a stronger flavor than light roasts. However, a standard medium roast will not have any oil present on the surface of the beans. This is the most common roast used in the United States, thus it is frequently referred to as the ‘American’ roast. Our medium roast is crafted to ensure a smooth, milk chocolate finish that gently brings out the notes of each farmer's incredible coffee.

DARK ROAST

Depending on the intensity of the roast, these beans will be dark brown with greater levels of oil present on the beans. These beans will be more bitter than any of the other roast types. It is important to note that the darker the roast - the less the acidity. Our dark roast is crafted to ensure a bold, dark chocolate finish that brings out the powerful notes of our farmer's incredible coffees.

Process

HONEY

For Honey Processed Beans, the husks are removed from the inside of the coffee cherry. The husks, unlike the washed processed, are never rinsed and are then fermented with local honey for up to 72 hours. Afterward, the fermented husks are dried completely. Our honey processed coffees have a deliciously sweet, milk chocolate aftertaste!
