Coffee Description
This exemplary small lot truly comes from the sweet spot, and we think you’ll see that in this cup. With notes of dried fig, almond, maple, and brownie, this coffee is rich with a surprisingly smooth body.

About Collection of Small Farms of Mexico
Xico’s close proximity to Coatepec, also known as the coffee capital of Mexico, is a source of motivation for producers here. In order to be competitive in the local market, farmers have put more effort into planting and harvesting, vastly accelerating the pace at which they improve their precision and quality. While producers closer to the city have other employment opportunities if needed, those further away rely solely on agriculture, making them more susceptible to fluctuating coffee prices.

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.
