KARAHIYO was co-founded by Geoffrey Giraud and Joel Frias, longtime friends who met more than a decade ago and whose story the brand sums up as brothers from another mother. Over the years their families grew close, and many of their best moments happened around a table with good food, good conversation, and a cup of coffee, a gathering tradition at the heart of Hispanic culture.
Traveling together introduced them to coffee traditions around the world and confirmed what they already believed: coffee brings people together. That idea became KARAHIYO, ready-to-drink espresso cocktails built on carefully selected coffee prepared with a cold nitro-brew process, with a non-alcoholic option for anyone skipping the spirits.
The name draws on coraje, the Spanish word for courage, a nod to the character behind the drink. KARAHIYO is made in Virginia, with a tasting room in North Chesterfield.
