Finca Natamaya is named for the two daughters of Hermann and Nena Mendez, Natalia and Mayita. In a way, this project represents the future, just like their daughters do. The farm was purchased by the family with the specific intention of developing the quality of the coffee to a level that land had never seen before. At Natamaya, experimental small lots of unique coffee varieties have been planted on the heels of standard quality improvements: better cherry selection, more consistency in drying processes, controlled fermentation. But what really took their coffees to the next level is a commitment to analyzing every detail available.
In 2012, the Mendez family sorted their coffees into 50 micro lots in order to experience with Jared the difference in flavor development and quality of each parcel of land. The results were eye-opening and integral in the Mendez family better under- standing how to build higher quality blended lots. This level of commitment produced the cleanest, sweetest lots yet, and helped Ruby understand the weight of what a partnership could mean.
For years, Ruby has been able to deepen our relationship with the Mendez Family, not only with this single origin release of Natamaya, but with subsequent special, featured lots. We’ve also been able to purchase large quantities of coffee from Familia Mendez to be a key component of our Creamery blend for much of the year. We’re proud of our decade long partnership (and growing!) with Herman and his family. From Herman himself:
“We welcome Jared's increased order, we actually look forward to having advanced orders/fixed prices to secure the income to practice better agriculture.”

I have, for years, received a rotating cast of delicious coffees each month. Each coffee has its own color and profile. I embrace the delicious variety and couldn’t choose a single favorite.
