Story

Triangle Accent

This AA washed microlot is from smallholder farmers contributing to the Itumpi AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Co-operative Society) washing station in Mbozi, Songwe, Tanzania. Itumpi has 160 active growers who contribute ripe cherry to Itumpi. Microlots from Tanzania are traceable to the washing station level and are selected based on their cup quality. This particular lot was one of the highest-scoring coffee lots that was then isolated out (as a microlot) from the larger day lots due to its high quality. We call this coffee fun to drink with it’s zingy and tangy pops of cherry, orange zest, and watermelon complemented by honey and hops notes.

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.
