Pedro Garcia Peru

The mountains of Peru are home to various micro-climates that all lend themselves to growing delicious coffee. Organic growing practices are standard procedure for Peruvian coffee, which is handpicked and carefully sorted for quality.

Quite often small producers like Pedro operating in remote regions will be the victims of coyote coffee buyers, these are middlemen who target small producers, turn up to their farms with cash during harvest season and convince them to sell their coffee at reduced prices. These coyotes will then go onto sell the coffee to mills and exporters for a higher price, not only swindling the producer out of income but also losing quality coffee to the blended lots these coyotes sell on. It is an unfortunate situation and is all too common across South and Central America.

However, Falcon Speciality, the exporters and importers of this lot, decided to avoid purchasing coffees from the local mills and buying stations, choosing to build their own purchasing station to work directly with producers. This way Falcon can ensure producers are receiving the fair and correct price for their coffee and uphold complete traceability through the supply chain. We are very thankful for this work and the opportunity to present this delicious lot from Pedro.

The supply chain - from farm to cup - can be a long and complicated road. Every person in that chain has to get paid from the sale of the coffee, so reducing the amount of middlemen means we can offer premiums to producers, without having to inflate the price to the consumer. Working directly with farmers is key to forging long term relationships, and we can commit to buying before the harvest has even started.
