Soy beverages
Soy beverage is made from soybeans, a legume also used to produce foods such as tofu. Soybeans have a neutral flavor, which gives the beverage a slightly sweet aroma.
It is one of the plant-based drinks with the lowest saturated fat content, which helps reduce blood cholesterol levels. It is also high in fiber, supporting healthy digestion and contributing to the body’s metabolic processes. Additionally, soy beverage is a good source of vitamin B6, folic acid, and minerals such as magnesium, which aids in calcium absorption. It is naturally gluten- and lactose-free, making it a healthy option for many people.
Almond Beverages
Almond beverage contains vitamins A, B12, B2, and D2. It supports metabolic and antioxidant processes in the body and, like soy beverage, is free from gluten and cholesterol.
Its naturally sweet flavor can eliminate the need for added sugar or sweeteners in lattes, cappuccinos, or teas.
Remember, coffee is meant to be enjoyed your way. Make it a unique, delicious, and feel-good experience at our Juan Valdez® stores, because trying new things is always a treat.
Coffee myths
From the same people who brought you “coffee can be reheated,” comes: “coffee tastes better with sugar.” Don’t be fooled. According to experts, there are bad habits—like sweetening every coffee-based beverage—perhaps a result of our high consumption of “agua’e panela” or simply because we’ve grown used to overly sweet flavors. From the same creators of […]
From the same people who brought you “coffee can be reheated,” comes: “coffee tastes better with sugar.”
Don’t be fooled. According to experts, there are bad habits—like sweetening every coffee-based beverage—perhaps a result of our high consumption of “agua’e panela” or simply because we’ve grown used to overly sweet flavors. From the same creators of “coffee can be reheated”, comes: coffee tastes better when sweetened.
Do not be fooled. According to experts, one of the most common bad habits is sweetening every coffee-based beverage—perhaps a result of our high consumption of “agua’e panela”, or simply because, in some cases, the coffee wasn’t of great quality. It’s important to understand that premium coffee is of excellent quality and, thanks to its flavor profile, doesn’t need added sweetness. What it truly requires is learning to appreciate its natural flavors and aromas.
I don’t order espresso because it’s the strongest coffee, that’s a myth.
After doing a quick survey among friends, most of them said the same thing: espresso is a strong drink they avoid for fear of bitterness or too much caffeine. But experts say that’s just not true. Drip coffee actually contains more caffeine because it stays in contact with hot water for longer (3 to 5 minutes), while espresso is extracted in just 30 seconds, resulting in a shorter caffeine release.
What many people don’t realize is that drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos are all espresso-based — the only difference is the amount of milk in each one.
Cold coffee is gross
The biggest myth! Some say that to regulate body temperature, you should drink something close to the environment’s temperature. But… can you imagine drinking hot coffee on the beach? Exactly — no way.
So if you’re looking to cool off, go for a cold option like a Cold Brew or iced tinto at our Juan Valdez stores. You’ll discover new flavor notes and experience a different texture on your palate. Plus, you can mix it with ice, lemon, orange, milk, or even liquors — the possibilities are endless.
Coffee in the regions

We are neighbors of Ecuador and for this reason we enjoy very good solar radiation all year round, in addition to the topographic and climatic conditions that make Colombia a privileged country for the cultivation of coffee. As if this were not enough, we can also add the care of our coffee growers that, depending on the region, imprint their own personality characteristics to their coffee plantations.
Therefore, when ordering a coffee from Nariño remember that it is a mountainous region with great abysses where the cold forces the coffee to mature slowly and produce more sugars, which makes the coffee have a greater smoothness, pronounced aroma, medium body, citric notes and exquisite acidity. All this translates into a high altitude coffee, which is its main characteristic.
The crops are practically on the equatorial line and receive perpendicular sunlight during the day, which creates a thermal blanket that is piled over the valleys to cover them during the night and prevent them from being burned by the extreme cold.
On the other hand, the coffee plantations in Tolima are planted in small plateaus, between forests covered by fog where heat and humidity are present. When you drink your coffee in this region you will taste a smooth and balanced beverage that follows the path of sweetness from its aroma to the residual that remains on the palate, as if its fragrance came to you directly from a grinding.
In a region such as Cauca where the high mountains, volcanic soils and the 5 most important rivers of Colombia irrigate the land, the optimal scenario is created to produce a coffee of sensations, smooth, with acidity, fragrance, strong aroma and sweet notes, as if coming from a basket of fruits. In this region the indigenous, Afro-descendant and mestizo coffee growers prepare two harvests: the main harvest between March and June and the secondary harvest between April and May.
Huila
It is the main national coffee producing region, so when you drink the flagship drink of our country in this privileged region, you will be touched by the blanket of clouds that protects the coffee plantations that mature in a balanced and sweet way from the intense sun rays, which also produces its intense aroma. The producers have bet on quality, being the leaders of specialty crops; this is ratified by the fact that they have won five times in the 12 versions of the “Cup of Excellence” contest.
En Huila
Land of valleys, mountains, temperate climate and origin of the Colombian coffee icons Juan Valdez and Conchita, representatives of the coffee growers and born farmers, a coffee that clearly expresses an intense fruity and herbal aroma is drunk, where the people add their kindness, hospitality and dedication to each cup.
Now, did you know that when you drink coffee from Santander, you are tasting our coffee origin?
That’s right, coffee arrived in Colombia through the Santanderes region. This national jewel grows in the shade of native forests that protect it from high temperatures, resulting in a balanced coffee, with a pronounced aroma and fragrance, with herbal notes and harvested by coffee growers with laborious and sincere roots.
And how can we not talk about our coffee cultural landscape? In the Axis we pay homage to the culture of the departments of Valle, Caldas, Quindío and Risaralda that offer us a strong coffee with character, with a pronounced aroma, acidity and medium body that pays homage to the coffee cultural landscape, a proud patrimony of humanity.
At the foot of the world’s highest mountain by the sea, indigenous cultures devoted to mother earth cultivate coffee.
Sierra Nevada
Of strength and intensity that its coffee growers protect in a special way, as they imprint their beliefs with spiritual rituals so that mother earth provides this coffee with notes of hazelnut and residual chocolate; the only one fertilized with positive energy.
It is well known that the character, perseverance and strength of the salseros, indigenous people and a large Afro-descendant population comes from the charm of the Valley, a landscape that lies between the western and central mountain ranges through which the Cauca River passes and where you can enjoy a cup picked by men and women committed to the cultivation and production of a strong coffee, with character that combines with sweet and subtle notes tinged with wild green and pronounced aroma.
Today in every city where there is a Juan Valdez® store the coffee of origin of its region is sold as a primary source, so that the inhabitants themselves take ownership of their product, incorporate it into their daily lives and visitors have the opportunity to enjoy these regional and cultural wonders from the root, in order to obtain and highlight its attributes or flavor notes.

Earth Day
With the help of Rafael Fernando Amaya, sustainability director of the Siembre un Árbol Foundation, every week we collect around two tons of soil residues, which instead of ending up in landfills, generating CO2 emissions, are taken to a farm in San Francisco, Cundinamarca.

With the help of Rafael Fernando Amaya, sustainability director of the Siembre un Árbol Foundation, every week we collect around two tons of soil residues, which instead of ending up in landfills, generating CO2 emissions, are taken to a farm in San Francisco, Cundinamarca. There, with Rafael’s help, we take advantage of the properties and nutrients in the compost to grow Orellana mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms and make compost.
“The idea is to give added value to the waste because the problem is not generating garbage but what we do with it,” says Amaya. Of a cup of coffee you enjoy only 5 percent; the remaining 95 percent of the bean waste is converted into coffee grounds, rich in iron and protein, which, among other benefits, is used to recover soils and cultivate mushrooms for medicinal and nutritional purposes.
With Orellana mushrooms, which have more protein than chicken and are low in cholesterol, different restaurants in the city prepare a number of dishes. Ganoderma lucidum strengthens the immune system of cancer patients and minimizes tumor formation.
Likewise, the fungus cultivated on the coffee residues is also used to develop medicines to treat chronic kidney diseases and to produce fertilizer for food plantations such as radish and carrots, reforestation projects and the planting of trees and plants.
We feel a deep respect for nature and our goal for the preservation of the environment is born in the coffee plantations. With the use of the coffee waste, we want to give a respite to the Planet and dispose of its benefits for the benefit of people, fauna and the ecosystem.
This April 22nd, in the JW Marriott store, we will be planting aromatic plants in our cups with the compost that results from the coffee grounds. Just as in Juan Valdez® we take advantage of coffee waste, with the intention of reducing the rate of garbage, may Earth Day be a pretext for you to start living in harmony with the planet, in the end, we can all be responsible consumers and together help preserve the environment.

JUAN VALDEZ, FIRST CHAIN OF COFFEE SHOPS IN THE WORLD, CERTIFIED AS “B COMPANY”.
- The unique nature of Juan Valdez (Procafecol S.A.) allowed it to achieve the B certification, due to the fact that it is a company that is part of the coffee institutionality of the country represented by the National Federation of Coffee Growers and through which it benefits more than 540 thousand coffee growing families.
- Of the 110,000 companies that have been measured through the Sistema B assessment tool, only 3% achieve this recognition, indicating the high standards of performance that the certification evaluates.
Bogotá D.C., February 24, 2021. Juan Valdez, the flagship company of the country that represents Colombian coffee growers, achieved certification as a B Company. In this way, it not only becomes the first chain of coffee stores certified in the world, but also joins the group of companies whose business purpose is to contribute to the solution of the main social and environmental problems of our time.
Since its creation in 2002, Juan Valdez (Procafecol S.A.) has sought to captivate the world with the premium coffees of Colombia and to give a leading role to its coffee growers, who, in addition to being the owners of the brand, are the suppliers of 100% of its coffee. In this way, backed by the National Federation of Coffee Growers, Juan Valdez has watched over the interests of the coffee growing families of the country that are, in their majority (96%), small and medium sized producers.
Juan Valdez’s main purpose is to generate value, beyond the economic, to Colombian coffee growers. For this reason, it has not only worked to have a traceable and transparent supply chain and has developed high standards of corporate governance, but it is constantly looking out for the welfare of its producers and collaborators, and is committed to achieving better social and environmental practices in each link of its operation.
Since 2019, Juan Valdez began its certification process as a B Company. This is a recognition delivered by B Lab – a non-profit entity in the United States, which so far has recognized 3,700 companies in the world and more than 60 in Colombia. It recognizes those companies that do not measure their success only through their financial results, but also through their social and environmental performance. Camilo Ramirez, Executive Director of Sistema B in Colombia, the organization that promotes the B movement in the country, states: “The B movement welcomes Juan Valdez, we are very happy and sure that, with his example, we will continue to show the whole world how it is possible to achieve financial profitability and, at the same time, the solution to the great challenges we have as a society and planet. This is the new definition of business success.
This certification, which is only obtained by 3% of the companies that complete the evaluation, ratifies the organization’s purpose in generating value through its business model. This involved a rigorous review process of all the dimensions and areas of the company and a judicious analysis of the impact they generate. “We are proud to belong to this movement of companies that aspire to be not only the best in the world, but the best for the world. The certification allows us to ratify our commitment to Colombian coffee growers, to our employees and to society in general, by showing that we are continuously seeking to provide concrete environmental, social and economic solutions to contribute to the development of our country and the world,” said Camila Escobar, president of Juan Valdez. Juan Valdez is committed to continue contributing to the construction of a new economy, turning global challenges into opportunities to generate value for society. Now as a B Company, Juan Valdez will continue to exalt the name of an entire country and of Colombian coffee in the world.

Sergio has plans for marriage and represented Colombia at the International Leadership Meeting in the United States. With the savings from his job, Diego bought an apartment. Eyner finished high school and dreams of studying automotive mechanics to become a micro-entrepreneur. They are part of Amigos del Alma, a program of Best Buddies Colombia that, thanks to the support of partners such as Juan Valdez®, offers more than 500 Colombians with intellectual disabilities the possibility of having a job.
Seeing how these men and women, regardless of their condition, give the best of themselves in their work, has sensitized the other collaborators of the company, they are responsible, honest, and their commitment is reflected in the care of every detail in their coffee preparations.
For nine years, Amigos del Alma have been working in Juan Valdez® stores, serving customers, preparing drinks and performing the same functions as other employees. “It’s breaking that barrier or paradigm that we suddenly have of a person with a disability. Personally, I have experienced it and working with them means seeing another way of being, and the contribution is very beneficial and is a majority at the business level,” says one of the bar leaders.
For the Coordinator of the program at Juan Valdez®, employers should give themselves the opportunity to learn about the world of disability and take advantage of this available human resource. This program has raised awareness among employees who are close to a Soul Friend, who are now more aware that this is a reality that can also touch them.
From the Amigos del Alma, one learns to care about others and to give more than others expect, says the coordinator. Thanks to the work she shares with Eyner, a young man with cognitive disabilities who pays debts and helps his family with his work, she also understood that there are no limits, that like any other Juan Valdez® employee, they have the same skills and desire to learn, always looking for the way to go further.
With their work, people with cognitive limitations are achieving their goals. That is why at Juan Valdez® we will continue to support labor inclusion in our environment.
