Tom used to visit as a teenager and young adult, pulling up a chair at the kitchen table to talk, laugh, and dream about the future. Those conversations revealed a kind, thoughtful person with a quiet determination and a real spark of potential.

Today, Tom and his partner Ru channel that same warmth and integrity into Ruby Hue, one of the Southwest’s standout independent bean-to-bar and bean-to-cup chocolate makers. Together, they are part of a craft chocolate movement that challenges unethical, untraceable commodity cacao and celebrates transparency, flavour, and the farmers who grow these exceptional beans.

Together they are proud to be a part of the craft chocolate revolution, raging against unethical, untraceable commodity cacao.

This ultra-rare Piura Blanco bean blends albino and Nacional cacao genes. Grown in Peru's arid Piura Valley, these white beans thrive thanks to farmers using Andean waterways to sustain them despite harsh dry conditions.

Ruby Hue have given a gentle medium roast to preserve the beans delicate fruitiness, while the addition of milk draws out the cacao’s natural malted depth. In hot chocolate form, it transforms into a cup that balances golden sweetness with creamy richness — indulgent yet refreshingly light
