Rubí Sisters Icatu 12 oz

Perched between the Sierra La Esperanza and Santa Bárbara mountains in Las Vegas, Honduras, lies Finca Ruland 2—a specialty coffee farm as beautiful as it is biodiverse, owned and operated by the Rubí-Landaverde family.

As a second generation coffee grower, daughter Andrea Rubí helped to usher in a new era for her family—launching them into specialty coffee as the culmination of two decades of farming heritage. Coming into the business with a fresh perspective, Andrea saw the value of moving their practice away from sole reliance on the commodity coffee industry, and—in addition to their newer frontier of experimentation—she now heads up their initiative to forge more direct relationships with coffee companies and roasters like Joe.

Andrea and her sisters' skill and dedication shine through in this washed lot of Icatu. The aroma is rich with roasted walnut and vanilla, offering a warm, inviting sweetness. The initial sip reveals a big body with roasted walnut at the forefront, balanced by smooth notes of creamy vanilla. As the coffee cools, a bright burst of grapefruit emerges, adding a lively citrus layer that complements the richness, leaving a lingering finish of subtle spice and soft citrus.
