Juan Carlos Acevedo

We first met Juan Carlos in January 2020. Juan Carlos hosted a cupping event at his plantation in Tandapi. Juan Carlos and his family have owned and harvested coffee on their land for many years. Through hard work and dedication, they have been able to build quite the infrastructure, including a drying, processing, and roasting facility. At the facility, Juan Carlos and his team are able to ensure their coffees are of the highest quality. Furthermore, their facility enables them to ferment and process their coffees in many different ways, allowing them to produce Honey, Washed, or Natural processed coffees. Our first opportunity to import some of Juan Carlos’ prestigious coffee came in September 2021. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Juan Carlos, and we look forward to connecting him 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

WASHED

For Washed Processed Beans, the husks are removed from the coffee cherries. They are then cleaned thoroughly before being set out on drying tables to dry. This drying process is a very important piece of the coffee puzzle. A bean with too much humidity will have a short shelf life. The humidity level wanted for coffee is between 10-12%.

NATURAL

For Natural Processed Beans, coffee cherries are washed and then thrown directly on to drying tables or tarps to dry. The entire cherry will dry until it is peeled. A natural processed coffee will tend to have stronger flavors brought on by remaining in the cherry for longer durations of time. These flavors often come from the crops grown around the coffee!
