 Ramsey is a Coffee Hot Spot
March 12, 2008; CityPages

"In a small, nondescript warehouse in Ramsey, Minnesota, thousands of miles from Central American coffee plantations or Seattle coffee shops, Miguel Meza slurps up a spoonful of so-called black gold in one noisy schluuup . The genteel 25-year-old—he's dressed in khakis, a sweater vest, and dapper Rat Pack-style dress shoes—is no rube. His technique is standard practice for taste-testing coffees, or "cupping." These beans, Meza says, come from a Panamanian farm known for producing some of the world's best coffee—and they retail for $300 a pound. "This is the most expensive coffee on the planet," he says."

 R Miguel Coffee's Aurora Offering Scores 96-Points
December, 2007; CoffeeCuppers.com

"Once in a while a coffee arrives at my cupping table that goes beyond the words normally used to describe the characteristics of coffee. This is one such. I can remember the flavors and aromas even now, days after the cupping, though I can't describe them all. Actually I cupped it twice to be sure that my senses weren't deceiving me. The first time was after about 8 hours rest, blind, side-by-side with the auction and non-auction versions of the Esmeralda Geishas. The second time, after about 36 hours of rest, I cupped it against a control sample and it was even better. It had settled down and gained a high degree of complexity."
