This washed Honduras coffee comes from the Comayagua region at 1650 meters elevation and is produced by Ariel Fúnez, a third-generation specialty coffee farmer. The coffee features the Lempira cultivar with flavor notes of lemon meringue pie, orange zest, and caramel fudge. The coffee represents Hyperion's fourth year of partnership with Ariel's farm, which also produces natural and honey-processed lots alongside experimental varieties.
Hyperion Coffee is a specialty roastery in Ypsilanti, Michigan, founded in 2015 by Eric Mullins, Dan Kubera and Alex Merz. Named after the Greek Titan of light, the roastery was built on three pillars: relationships, science and education. Kubera roasts on a 10 kilo Ambex, sourcing directly from small independent producers including Ariel Fúnez in Honduras, with every coffee listing varietal, elevation, processing method and farm name. The team cups roughly 30 samples in a single morning session as part of their daily quality routine.
