## What the Brand Says

> Butter popcorn, guava & hibiscus. Ruby Esperanza comes from the rugged hills of La Unión, Nariño — a region known for its dramatic elevation, cool climate, and slow cherry development. These conditions, paired with rich volcanic soil, give the coffee its vibrant and layered character. Grown on a small, carefully managed farm by Ruby Esperanza Urbano, this lot is 100% Caturra and processed with precision — including a 30-hour underwater fermentation that adds clarity and complexity to the cup. Ruby Esperanza delivers a vivid profile: buttery popcorn richness, a tropical twist of guava, and a bright, floral lift of hibiscus. A striking expression of Nariño’s high-altitude terroir.
