The Hiro, Funky & Tropical.
More of a wild and adventurous profile. Any origin goes and the roast level depends on the coffee, but we tend to keep it lighter. Expect a coffee with notes you wouldn’t normally associate with its origin.
The Hiro right now & origin details
Byron and his family are big advocates of sustainable farming and agriculture, their 5 farms are almost sustained by symbiotic inputs via biodynamic inputs. Byron does his best for consistent employment with 80 employees in the peak seasons, and 16 in the off seasons rotating between the farms. Doing his best to keep everyone employed, he also staffs mostly women patieras to do the lower impact work on the drying patios. Another reason why Byron puts out honeys/naturals, more expensive to produce for the producer but also create more jobs since they need more attention on the drying end of the processing.
