Story

Triangle Accent

This single farmer lot from the esteemed coffee growing region of Huehuetenango in Guatemala is in one word, delightful. It’s what we would call an elevated easy sipper with refined fruit and floral notes but also a super accessible pleasing sweetness. We wrote things like yum! and super nice! on our cupping forms and tasted strawberry rhubarb, apricot, lychee, vanilla bergamot, and watermelon. Definitely a must try!

This coffee was grown by Otilio López on his farm-Finca Salay. A Caturra lot, this coffee was fermented for 48 hours and then patio-dried for roughly a week. Caturra is a naturally occurring dwarf mutation of the coveted Bourbon variety and is known for producing a sweet, fruit-forward and balanced cup of coffee.

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.
