Ruta Maya Organic Medium Roast Coffee 35.2 oz — Shade‑Grown 100% Arabica, Chocolate Notes

Ruta Maya Organic Medium Roast is a smooth, chocolate‑forward 100% Arabica coffee from shade‑grown Chiapas cooperatives, offered in a 35.2 oz resealable bag.

Harvested by Maya Indian farmer cooperatives in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, this medium roast blends gentle roasting with time‑honored growing practices to deliver mellow body, mild acidity, and a distinctly chocolaty profile. USDA certified organic and made from hand‑picked, shade‑grown Arabica beans, the 35.2 oz package is designed for home and store shelving with a foil‑lined, resealable paper bag to protect freshness.

What flavor can I expect from this medium roast?

This roast emphasizes balance and approachability: a smooth mouthfeel, subtle brightness, and clear chocolate notes rather than sharp fruitiness or heavy smoke. The roast level preserves origin character while softening acidity for everyday drinking.

• Mellow yet full‑bodied texture for a satisfying cup
• Pronounced chocolate and cocoa undertones
• Low to mild acidity for easy sipping
• Consistent flavor across drip, pour‑over, and automatic brewers

How are these beans grown and harvested?

Ruta Maya uses 100% Arabica beans cultivated under shade in the Chiapas highlands, supporting soil health and natural microclimates. Beans are hand‑picked by local cooperatives, which helps select ripe cherries and maintain higher quality from farm to roast.

• Shade‑grown farms reduce sun stress and promote slower bean development
• Hand picking ensures selection of ripe cherries only
• Produced by Maya Indian farmer cooperatives in Chiapas
• USDA Organic certification confirms pesticide‑free practices

How does the packaging keep coffee fresh?

The 35.2 oz bag is foil‑lined and resealable to slow oxidation and preserve aroma after opening. The paper exterior is shelf friendly for grocery displays while the interior barrier protects oils and volatile flavor compounds.

• Foil‑lined interior shields beans from light and air
• Resealable closure allows repeated airtight storage
• Grocery‑friendly paper bag balances presentation with protection
• Large 35.2 oz size suited for frequent drinkers or shared households

How can I brew it to highlight the chocolate notes?

To bring out the smooth, chocolaty character, use a medium grind and water just off boil for drip or pour‑over methods. Avoid overly fine grind settings or extremely long extractions that can introduce bitterness; a balanced brew time preserves sweetness.

• Medium grind for drip machines and pour‑overs
• Water temperature around 195–205°F (90–96°C)
• Use a 1:15–1:18 coffee‑to‑water ratio for balanced strength
• Shorter contact time in immersion brewing to maintain smoothness

Who is this for: Ruta Maya Organic Medium Roast in 35.2 oz is ideal for home coffee drinkers who prefer a smooth, chocolatey cup with moderate body and low acidity, plus shoppers who value organic, cooperative‑grown beans. It's also a practical choice for small offices or families that consume coffee daily and want a larger, resealable bag that preserves freshness without masking origin flavors.
