When we first tasted the microlots from Oscar’s Finca Cual Bicicleta in 2013, we knew we had found something special. After a difficult start, Oscar converted to 100% Organic production and rededicated his farm as “Finca Cual Bicicleta” because “when you ride a bike you have to maintain equilibrium, you have to be careful, never look back, and you don’t pollute”. Dynamite Roasting has purchased microlots from Oscar for 15 years, and visited Cual Bicicleta many times. His enthusiasm for his work is infectious, and his coffee is one of the finest in all of Honduras.
