Hacienda La Papaya Experimental Lots are Back!

Our experimental Ecuador lots are back! One washed. One natural. Both Typica varietals that were processed exclusively for JBC Coffee Roasters by renowned coffee grower Juan Peña on his award-winning farm Hacienda La Papaya. Experience the unique differences between a natural process and a washed process Typica lot, both processed with their own individual custom processing and yeast inoculated fermentation protocols developed by JBC Coffee Roasters. The washed lot is silky and crisp with tasting notes of chamomile, lemon balm, orange peel, and candied almond. The natural lot is big and fruity with tasting notes of raspberry, strawberry cream soda, guava and red candy. Both are ultra unique, delicious, and must-tries for a unique coffee experience.

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 sustainable 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.
