Ruiz Family

The Ruiz Family cultivates coffee in the Cauca region of Colombia, operating at high altitudes ranging from 1850 to 2050 meters. This geographic positioning supports the maturation of their crops within a cool mountain climate. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog includes traditional Bourbon alongside Pink Bourbon. These cultivars form the basis of the farm's harvest offerings. The processing profile for the Ruiz Family centers entirely on the washed method. Both recorded lots in the index undergo this traditional preparation approach. The catalog footprint for the Ruiz Family includes two coffees, both featured by Intelligentsia Coffee. These offerings represent harvest selections carrying an average Cherrybook Index of 67.0. Recent catalog examples include the Colombia Red Striped Bourbon and the Colombia Santa Barbara Pink Bourbon, both processed as washed coffees and roasted by Intelligentsia Coffee. The work of the Ruiz Family within the index is defined by a focused washed-process methodology applied to traditional and regional bourbon varieties.
