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.

The Portage Seasonal Blend by Ruby Coffee Roasters is a foundational offering designed to showcase the classic, comforting profile of a washed-process coffee. By utilizing the washed processing method, the roaster emphasizes the inherent clarity and structural integrity of the beans, allowing the base notes of fudge, cocoa powder, and praline to take center stage. The addition of raisin provides a subtle, dried-fruit sweetness that rounds out the cup, creating a balanced experience that is both approachable and consistent.

When evaluating the nuances of a blend like this, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify how these specific descriptors interact. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean acidity and refined mouthfeel, the Portage blend leans into a rich, dessert-like character. This selection serves as a reliable staple for those who appreciate a traditional, well-developed roast profile that highlights deep, chocolate-forward sweetness.
