Story

Triangle Accent

Iwannitosa Putra is the owner of Putra Gayo, a mill and farm in Aceh, Sumatra. Iwannitosa specializes in both washed and natural coffees, as opposed to the common Sumatran processing method of wet hulling the coffee. This means that we get all the lovely fruit and spice notes that are common to Sumatra, while foregoing the overwhelming earth and mustiness that can be present in a wet hulled offering. This particular lot is resplendent in notes of concord grape, raspberry jelly, cardamom, milk chocolate, and star fruit. It’s big bodied, plush, and everything we love about a fruity and spicy Sumatra coffee. 

This microlot coffee comes from the Putra Gayo farm and smallholder farmers. Aceh, in northern Sumatra, is known as an incredible region for coffee production. The average farm is one hectare and 80% of smallholder producers are women. Most smallholder farmers grow their coffee amongst many shade trees including lamtoro, banana, orange, avocado, and jackfruit trees. Intercropping like this not only benefits the coffee quality but also the environment. Ripe coffee cherries are delivered to the Putra Gayo Mill where they are then pulped, fermented for 10-12 hours, and dried for about 10 days.

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.
