Your go-to coffee for comfort and sweetness.

Portage is our tribute to forging new paths and building connections along the way. This blend is founded on exceptionally rich and layered coffees from small farms in Brazil, often complemented by lots from Central America and Ethiopia. 

We developed this profile to be versatile and accessible. It’s low on acidity and high on rich flavors of chocolate and malt, making it a comforting choice for any time of day and any brew method. It shines particularly well on cold brew! Whether you're starting a new adventure or enjoying a quiet moment, Portage is your perfect companion.

Paul Bunyan’s, offered by Ruby Coffee Roasters, is a classic example of a washed coffee profile. In the processing methods explainer, we note that the washed method typically removes the fruit flesh from the coffee cherry before drying, which often results in a cleaner cup that highlights the inherent characteristics of the bean. This specific lot leans into a comforting, dessert-like spectrum, featuring notes of fudge, raisin, praline, and cocoa powder.

When evaluating such a profile, drinkers may find it helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between these rich, sweet, and nutty descriptors. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright acidity, this selection demonstrates how the method can also provide a structured, balanced foundation for deeper, more indulgent flavors. It serves as a reliable choice for those who appreciate a traditional, full-bodied cup with a smooth finish.
