Cafeina Women’s Group In 2019, a group for female farmers was established within the Cocatrel Cooperative in Três Pontas, Sul de Minas, Brazil. Known as the Cafeina Women's Group, it comprises of over 1,154 women producers. The initiative aims to promote active participation by women in decision-making processes. Every two months, the group gathers to further their education, expand their knowledge, and enhance their visibility and involvement within the coffee-growing community. The group is led by Iandra Vilela, an award-winning advocate for women in coffee.
This particular coffee is a natural-process lot consisting of the Mundo Novo and Yellow Catuaí varieties. It is machine-harvested, with the beans sorted by grade before being dried on patios for 7–10 days. After drying, the coffee rests for 30 days, then is hulled and delivered to the cooperative. Sourced through our long-standing import partners at Falcon, this coffee forms the foundation of our espresso blend, contributing rich nutty and milk chocolate notes.

Beshasha Mustefa Abakeno is a dedicated smallholder farmer based in the highlands of Jimma, Western Ethiopia, where he cultivates coffee on his 18-hectare farm at 2,040 meters above sea level. Sourcing diverse coffee varieties from the Jimma research center, Mustefa blends traditional and innovative processing methods to produce both Fully Washed and Natural coffees. Limited by water availability, his fully washed coffees undergo a short fermentation, resulting in a light honey-like profile.
Since becoming an exporter in 2018, Mustefa has expanded his operations significantly, founding the Beshasha wet mill and partnering with local outgrowers. His collaboration with the Falcon team and agronomist Harun has brought notable improvements in cherry selection, drying, and overall quality control. Investments in infrastructure, including a modern warehouse and new cherry collection sites, underscore his commitment to quality and community development, solidifying his role as a leader in Ethiopia’s specialty coffee movement.

Segundas This lot is a value-focused blend created by Falcon’s team in Jaen, in Peru’s Cajamarca region, using coffees from producers in Huabal and Chirinos. Producers deliver parchment coffee to Falcon’s Jaen warehouse, where each lot undergoes detailed quality analysis and cupping before a price is offered. Even top-scoring coffees include a small percentage of second-grade beans, which are separated at the dry mill. To increase purchase volumes from partner producers and improve the prices paid to them, Falcon combines these second-grade beans into a dedicated blend alongside their microlots. Through ongoing agronomy training led by Auber Terrones, the goal is to reduce lower-grade output and increase farmer earnings for long-term farm investment. Named after the nearby city of Chachapoyas in the Amazonas region, this blend offers strong quality and great value as a reliable base for blends.
