Monogram - Miguel Angel Ruiz

Tasting Notes: Apple, Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut.

Miguel Angel Ruiz is a cornerstone producer for Monogram, hailing from the La Leona micro-region in Santa Bárbara. This lot focuses on the Pacas variety, a natural mutation of Bourbon that thrives in the specific terroir of the Honduran highlands. Eschewing experimental processing in favor of a clean, traditional wash, Miguel emphasizes the variety’s inherent clarity and balance. The result is a quintessential feel-good coffee: a foundational sweetness of milk chocolate and roasted hazelnut is brightened by a lively, crisp apple acidity, offering a reliable yet expressive cup that highlights the producer's decades of experience.
