Hiro Coffee Farm... Home grown and oh so tasty-roasty!!

So, since I'm so far behind on my posts, I decided I should probably start with the most recent stuff and work my way backwards to the point where I stopped, which at this rate I think was back in October... ugh... I'm such a slacker.

So to start, there's an issue with how my photos upload so they are kind of all over the place, my last photo was supposed to be first, etc. I have no idea what happened. Anyway, This is Sarah and my adventure to Higashi Village and the Hiro Coffee Farm. It was quite a hoof to the Northeast of the island, but totally worth it.

At the Coffee Farm, they obviously make their own coffee, which is the only place in Japan which does. Apparently the conditions are just right for some super yummy medium, and dark roast. It doesn't look like much when driving up, but it was well worth the trip!

This is the view outside of our little "Tasting Bungalo" as I like to call it. There were like 3 or 4 little covered seating areas with table and picnic tables and whatnot, all spread out over this little tiny plot of land. It was so cute... minus the cookie-crazed chickens that begged for toast and cookie scraps!!

This was out little table, complete with very small menu, fresh flowers, burlap coffee sacks on the wall, and a little hot pad for our pot of coffee...

Cheers!! Here's to oishi coffee!! (That means yummy!!)

Another cute little seating area with rejected coffee beans on the ground... crunch crunch...

This is the "main bungalo" complete with roasting area, food prep area (it's ok, they only offered toast), and area to make purchases like fresh roasted coffee and other fun whatnots like your own coffee plant!!

Here's the guy roasting some coffee that I purchased... literally, my bag of coffee was still warm from being so fresh off the roaster! His little room was like 5x5 and smalled like he was cooking fresh pasteries, it smelled delicious!!

A view of the front of the main store. To the left is where we were sitting, and to the right was where the room with the coffee ground was, and there was also another room that a local guy was sitting in with his two little puppies, which made me smile! Next time I go, Chloe is gonna come with me, as long as she can behave around the chickens!

So all in all, it was a great little adventure! I got myself and the fam some fresh coffee, had about 4 cups myself, and left perfectly filled with medium roast deliciousness and the shakes, haha. Nothing I like better than a good coffee jolt! This will be a must-visit place the next time the parents come in.
