Our Story
The FNC is Founded
The Federación Nacional de Cafeteros (FNC) is established to represent and protect the interests of Colombian coffee growers — creating a cooperative unlike any in the world.
Juan Valdez® is Born
The iconic Juan Valdez® figure — a proud Colombian coffee farmer and his mule, Conchita — is introduced as the symbol of authentic, high-quality Colombian coffee. The character captivates the world.
The Brand Launches Retail Products
Juan Valdez® expands beyond a symbol to a full consumer brand, launching premium packaged coffees, freeze-dried, ground, whole bean, and specialty drip products for retail worldwide.
Going Global
Juan Valdez® products enter international markets, bringing the authentic taste of Colombian coffee to consumers in the Americas, Europe, and beyond.
Arriving in Egypt
Through a partnership with Afaq Trade, Juan Valdez® officially launches in Egypt — making it available in modern trade supermarkets and online for the very first time.
Connected to Origins
Every product traces back to specific Colombian regions and the families who grew the beans.
100% Premium Quality
Only the finest Arabica beans, harvested at peak ripeness, make it into a Juan Valdez® product.
Supporting Growers
A portion of every sale returns directly to the FNC — funding schools, roads, and healthcare for farming communities.
Sustainable Future
Juan Valdez® is committed to environmentally responsible coffee farming for generations to come.
