Since 1990
Since 1990, we've operated on the belief that organic coffee farming can strengthen Indigenous communities and create connection across cultures. Our specialty roasts are the result of over 20 years of direct partnership with small, independent agricultural cooperatives in modern and historic Maya territories.

Best Practices
Organic
Ruta Maya Coffee is grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. By avoiding substances like DDT, Marathon, and Benzene Hexachloride, we preserve our coffee’s natural quality while caring for the surrounding land, water, and air.
100% Arabica Coffee
Arabica coffee’s smoothness and balanced acidity make it our preferred variety. Grown at high elevations, cooler and more demanding climate conditions slow the coffee’s growth, producing refined flavors once the beans are roasted and ground.
Shade-Grown
Shade-grown coffee ripens gradually beneath a canopy of native trees, allowing natural sugars in the fruit to fully develop before harvest. These shaded environments support diverse bird and butterfly species, help reduce erosion by retaining soil moisture, and absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, supporting a more stable climate.
Volcanic Soil
Mineral-rich volcanic soil, high altitude, and a tropical climate provide the ideal environment for exceptional coffee growth
Ruta Maya coffee is the best! I've been drinking their dark roast exclusively for over 20 years. Consistent quality and the best beans available. Sells out quickly at the grocery store so it's always fresh.
Awesome coffee, found it at our Local H-E-B (Harlingen, TX). This coffee checked off all the boxes: organic, arabica, shade grown, high altitude, and fair trade with freshness to boot! “Roasted on date” right on the bag being less than a couple of weeks from when I bought it. Great job you guys, amazing taste!
Ruta Maya is by far the best coffee I have every had the pleasure of tasting!! Nothing comes remotely close to the rich flavor of this organic, shade-grown, coffee!! To truly understand what I mean, you have to try it for yourself.... preferably black! Just drink it!!
