Espresso Blend Specialty Coffee

Spirit Animal Coffee was founded in the fall of 2020 by Kathya Irias and Paul Gromek. With roots deeply embedded in Honduras, the company was born from a bold mission: to shift the balance of value in the coffee industry back toward the farmers. In a system where only about 10% of coffee revenue typically stays in the producing country, they set out to change that. By designing a fully integrated supply chain—from farm to roast to export—entirely within Honduras, they eliminated middlemen and ensured more of the profits return to local communities. Their approach is hands-on and intentional. They roast their coffee at origin, in Honduras, allowing them to maintain full control over quality, freshness, and transparency. By sourcing directly from small, high-altitude farms and applying strict quality controls—such as sugar content testing and careful post-harvest processing—they produce clean, specialty-grade coffee with a purpose.
