Who we build this with
RUTA2 doesn't manufacture anything. We pick partners who do their part well, and we tell you about them the same way we tell you where the coffee comes from.
Origin — Nariño, Colombia
The green coffee comes from three origins in Nariño: Edy Martínez's micro-lot, Ruberto Martínez's farm El Placer, and the Santa Marta community lot. Meet the people who grow them →
Importing — Arango Specialty Coffee
The coffee reaches the United States through Arango Specialty Coffee, a family company founded by the children of Colombian coffee growers.
They say it plainly on their own site: growers are the heart of their business. That's the principle we work by too — be straight about where the coffee came from and pay a fair price for it, rather than paying the same no matter the quality. We don't manufacture anything: we pick who we work with, and we picked an importer who holds to the same standard.
Roasting — Northborough, Massachusetts
The coffee is roasted in Northborough, Massachusetts, half an hour from where we live. We went with a roaster who knows what they're doing instead of improvising our own, and we hold the roasting to the same traceability we ask for at origin: a roast date printed on every bag, and a heads-up whenever a lot changes.
