Additional Information

San Ignacio, in northern Cajamarca on the Ecuadorian border, is a highland province of smallholder farms where coffee is a mainstay alongside mixed agriculture. Ridges, humid valleys and regular rainfall making for a slow, even ripening proucing the kind of clean, sweet cups the area is known for.

Falcon Peru receive small, day-to-day parchment deliveries from communities across San Ignacio—Chirinos among them—into our Falcon Coffees warehouse in Jaén. Every delivery is put through physical analysis and a cupping. As soon as a lot is cupped, we make a same-day price offer and pay the producer by instant bank transfer. Keeping the loop between delivery, evaluation and payment this tight supports cash flow on farm and ensures quality—on both physicals and cup score—sets the price.

Where volumes and profiles align, we assemble single-producer and community lots from San Ignacio and move quickly to milling and shipment. The approach sits within Falcon Peru’s direct-sourcing model: local warehousing, rapid QC, transparent pricing, and ongoing relationships with producers across the northern coffee corridor.
