Story

Triangle Accent

Our first Wush Wush release comes from renowned producer Paola Trujillo of Patio Bonito in Cauca, Colombia. This rare variety shines with dreamy, sparkling notes of tropical fruit, green apple candy, lemongrass, tangerine, honey, and elderflower bright, layered, and unforgettable.

Wush Wush, originally traced to Ethiopia, is prized for its intensely fruity, floral, and wine-like character. Low yielding and highly sought after, it’s often compared to Geisha for its elegance, yet delivers a distinctly vibrant, tropical profile all its own.

Paola, a former chemical engineer and coffee cupper, returned to her family’s 11-hectare farm in 2022, blending innovation with her father’s deep commitment to sustainability. This lot underwent 32 hours of anaerobic fermentation in whole cherry, followed by pulping, 12 additional hours of fermentation, and slow drying on raised beds to achieve optimal sweetness, clarity, and balance.

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.
