Story

Triangle Accent

This coffee was grown by smallholder farmers located in the Muyinga Province of northeastern Burundi who contribute their ripe coffee cherry to the Busasa Washing Station. The station sources coffee from 1600 farmers in the surrounding area and features 151 drying beds. Perhaps most notably, Busasa’s  staff enjoys wages nearly 60% higher than the Burundi average, while producers receive a 20% premium above the local market rate for their coffee cherry. This particular lot of coffee (lot 334) was isolated out as a top quality lot and boasts tasting notes of cranberry, butterscotch, apple crumble, dried cherry, and sweet pea.

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.
