The long-running coffee review site Coffee Review<\/a> has counted down its top 30 coffees of 2023<\/a>, giving tip-top honors to an experimental-process coffee roasted by Madison, Wisconsin-based JBC Coffee Roasters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Wilson Benitez Pink Bourbon” offering was one of two roasted coffees to receive a Coffee Review all-time-high score of 98 this year (a Gesha-variety coffee from Taiwan’s GK Coffee<\/a> was the other).<\/p>\n

Coffee Review’s editors described JBC’s winning coffee as both “wildly expressive” and “richly compelling” while noting its wine-like and juicy acidity, as well as its “long, very complex finish that leads with notes of wild blackberry and frankincense.”<\/p>\n

Family-run JBC, which roasts for direct-to-consumer bagged coffee sales as well as strategic wholesale accounts, routinely turns out 90+ coffees, according to Coffee Review archives. Yet none of those moved as fast as the 98-pointer, which sold out in 24 minutes when the review initially dropped.<\/p>\n

(Note: JBC is planning on receiving more of the award-winning coffee in unroasted form soon; in the meantime, the company does have another offering grown by Colombia-based Wilson Benitez<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

“Being named the #1 coffee of 2023 does bring recognition both locally and nationally,” JBC Coffee Roasters Co-Owner Laura Salinger Johnson told DCN. “It definitely boosts online sales and interest in our public events. It’s a great honor.”<\/p>\n

The honor should also extend to Benitez, an already renowned coffee producer who has applied a chemical engineering background to coffee farming and post-harvest processing in Colombia.<\/p>\n

The 98-point coffee, of the prized but potentially misnomered Pink Bourbon variety<\/a>, was subjected to unique anaerobic yeast fermentation in bioreactors, including the employment of ozone gas and ultraviolet light sterilization. According to JBC, the post-harvest processing is what paved the way for the coffee’s unique fruity and floral characteristics. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We were able to make those notes pop even further with a roast profile of 10 minutes \u2014 with the very first pop at 7:30, rolling into first crack at 8 mins \u2014 with 20% development and a finish temp of 396,” Salinger Johnson told DCN. “The result is a juicy, sugary sweet, syrupy, and silky coffee with tasting notes of pink bubblegum, strawberry blossom, blackberry buttercream, orange, and purple grape.”<\/span><\/p>\n
