Desnudo Coffee is a Latino-owned roaster in Austin, Texas. Founded by brothers Juan and Sergio Trujillo in 2021, they buy directly from small family farms in Huila, Colombia with no intermediaries. Their cousin Manolo lives in Colombia and has a direct relationship with producer. Desnudo roasts to order in Austin, ship weekly, and runs a coffee membership alongside four Austin cafés: East Austin (2505 Webberville Rd), Downtown (111 Congress Ave), South Lamar (1904 S Lamar Blvd) and Westside (1214 W 6th St).
Our Story, by Juan & Sergio Trujillo: we grew up around coffee and cacao our whole lives, hardly aware of Huila's famed fertile volcanic soils, perfect for growing celebrated coffee varietals. Naturally, as adults we went to the city, we studied, we worked and we moved far away to build our lives. We drank coffee and worked harder and faster. Then we pivoted, trading everything in to open Desnudo Coffee in Austin, TX in 2022. Desnudo was born out of a desire to create connection and cultivate change. Desnudo means naked, flavors and intentions stripped down to a natural and pure state. From the moment we opened the window of that first tiny trailer, we invited people to learn with us, to slow their day down and consider the chain effects of every decision. We shared our new supply chain model, where no intermediaries are involved, where education is key, and where as a result our coffee tastes incredible and people are happy. Farmers who would have sold their land if they had tried to work with associations that dilute their worth; customers who wouldn't have become friends and family. Growing up in a coffee region, we understand how challenging the market can be for small producers. Coffee farmers typically receive only 6-10% of global coffee sales, mainly because of the many intermediaries involved. We work directly with farmers to ensure they receive a fair price, and we partner with small producers on long-term projects, teaching new techniques, funding better processing facilities, and encouraging regenerative, sustainable practices on the farm. Today our community has grown both in Austin and in Colombia, where our team, family and farmer friends embrace constant coffee education and experimentation. We're roasting the freshest beans available and proving that change is possible, one farm at a time.
