Ruby is proud to partner with environmentally conscious producers, and Grupo Asociativo Asoguacharos from Bruselas in Huila, Colombia is our latest environment focused partnership. Los Guacharos are an association made up of many small farmers who all work together to achieve a common goal — producing amazing coffee while developing an eco-friendly independence.
The association has built an amazing system for generating community stock of organic fertilizers based on molasses, cow manure, bone ash, rice husk, organic micro-nutrients to which native fungi and bacteria are added. The group has nearly transitioned away entirely from chemical fertilizers, and doesn’t use any pesticides or herbicides.
The coffee is also only washed once during fermentation, leaving residual pulp on the seed and contributing not only to extended sweetness in the cup, but also to less waste water that needs to be processed. Runoff from fermentation and washing is filtered through channels that have contaminant absorbing flower roots which allows the filtered water to be collected for farm use later.
This is our eighth year with Los Guacharos in our lineup. We love how reliably unique and delicious this coffee is. Each year, it wows us with bright, fruity, candy-like notes and a deeply sweet backbone. “Bubblegum” even made its way onto the tasting notes on our bag in previous years! This year’s lot continues to deliver with the quality, balance, and articulate fruitiness we’ve come to expect from this cooperative.

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.
