ABOUT
With temperatures dropping here in the northern hemisphere, this iteration of The Filter Blend brings the perfect amount of zesty warm citrus, almondy sweetness, and a lingering silky mouthfeel to warm you from the inside out.
Composed of Ocho de Cajamarca from Peru and Tangara from Huila, Colombia, watch out for your new favourite!
The coffee, aptly named "Ocho de Cajamarca," is the result of work by eight smallholder producers. These farmers harvest their mid-season coffee and process it entirely on their farms, using hand-pulping machines, fermentation tanks, and either patios or raised beds for drying. Once processed, the parchment coffee is delivered to Falcon's warehouse in Jaén for final grading, moisture testing, roasting, and cupping.
This coffee is part of Falcon's Blueprint Project, which ensures economic transparency for every contributing household. Also, Peru was the first origin chosen for Falcon’s Carbon Project, which launched in Autumn 2022 to conduct in-depth research into carbon emissions at the farm level.
Cedro Alto is a Colombian collective of small, independent coffee farmers. Their farms are tiny, averaging 2-5 hectares. Since its founding in 2012 by Karl Wienhold (who wrote Cheap Coffee), and now led by farmer Julio Bastidas, Cedro Alto has helped bring over 70 sustainably grown coffees to global markets.
By sharing just two or three central staff members, the farmers combine their output to reach a larger scale and efficiently share costs and resources. Their guiding principle is simple: "Share the costs to share the profits."
