Story

Triangle Accent

Our new Gicherori Kenya is a standout microlot from the slopes of Mount Kenya—selected exclusively for its exceptional cup quality. This coffee is everything we love about a decadent Kenya: sparkling, plush, and intensely berry-forward, with vibrant notes of raspberry, red currant, golden raisin, orange zest, cranberry, and cherry bonbons. If big-bodied, juicy, fruit-saturated Kenya coffees are your thing, this one will hit the mark.

The Gicherori Factory, established in 1997, is operated by the Kibugu Farmers Cooperative Society (F.C.S.). Roughly 1,050 smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherry to the factory the same day it’s picked, ensuring freshness and quality from the start. The factory also provides extensive support for its members, including farmer education, Good Agricultural Practices training, and sustainability-focused workshops.

This microlot was selected by our friends at Café Imports for its superior quality. In Kenya, microlots are traceable to the factory or individual farm level and chosen solely on cup score. Café Imports’ green buyer for Kenya typically stays in-country during harvest to cup thousands of samples, picking only the highest-performing lots. This one made the cut, and it shows in every sip.

Story:

Unparalleled quality, a human story, and sustainability – that’s our coffee philosophy.

Unparalleled quality. We won’t buy a coffee unless we know that it will inspire you.

A human story. Often times a producer’s story gets lost in the coffee supply chain. It’s our focus to provide a seed-to-cup experience, honoring everyone involved

Sustainability. We purchase coffees directly from producers and through brokers who share our goal of making coffee a sustainable commodity. Financially and environmentally, the coffees we purchase seek balance. Premiums paid for quality far exceed fair trade premiums and afford a more sustainable, honest model.

Combine our coffee philosophy and passion for exceptional coffees with our down-home Midwest hospitality and that, in a nutshell, is JBC Coffee Roasters. We can’t wait to share our coffee passion with you.
