About Mendez Family of El Salvador
Finca Talnamica has been in the Nena Mendez’ family for generations. The land was consistently farmed for commercial grade coffee, pursuing quantity over quality, but when Nena and her siblings inherited the farm, they wanted to pursue a new approach producing specialty coffee. It was through coincidence that Jared was traveling through the region around the same time and was able to meet the family, sparking the start of a new relationship.

Ruby Coffee Roasters
After years of leading the roasting and coffee sourcing programs of other notable roasters, Jared and Deanna Linzmeier moved back to Jared's hometown of Nelsonville, Wisconsin to build their own roastery. Because doing something great doesn't always mean doing something large, Ruby has opted to partner with small farms, small exporters and create small coffee bars, allowing them to have a much greater impact on the economic, environmental, social sustainability of specialty coffee.
This perspective has propelled a roasting operation, which began in a spare workshop room at Jared's childhood home, to being named Best Coffee in Wisconsin by Food and Wine two years in a row. Accolade aside, Ruby's real goal is a simple one: to source phenomenal quality coffee and make it approachable to everyone.
