Colombia El Rubi

If you’re on the hunt for a coffee that is full-bodied, wonderfully smooth and rich without being too dark, look no further! We couldn’t get enough of Colombia El Rubi’s fragrance; enjoying scents of darker sugars, chocolate, Bourbon and sweet spices. The final cup has a familiar, cozy profile that is rich enough to drink black, with cream and sugar, iced, or as an espresso with milk. Tasting notes of chocolate sauce, vanilla, brown sugar, and just a touch of dried cherry on finer grinds.

Roast Level: Medium - dark

El Rubi is a unique project lot from our partners based in Colombia who were able to bring together small amounts of coffee from several Vereda (tiny villages in the mountains). Together, these small coffee farmers can work directly with the producer to receive individual payment and traceability of their incredible coffee. We are proud to support work like this in the coffee sector by highlighting the distinct flavor of Colombian coffee that may not have otherwise gotten the attention it deserves.
