Monte
Monte Carmelo is our take on a classic profile from a classic region: the Cerrado Mineiro. Our goal with this coffee is to have a consistent profile from lot to lot and year to year, making it a coffee you can rely on year-round.
This lot was sourced as part of our Café Delas Program. Café Delas was created to help women farmers access the resources, knowledge and voice they need to grow their operations to the fullest potential. Every Café Delas coffee is sourced 100% from women farmers. For every sale, a portion of the profit is reinvested in programs that promote gender equality and empower women in the field. Notes of chocolate and caramel.

Bellavista is a district with a huge altitude range, but most of the coffee is produced below 1600masl. The coffee in this lot comes from Bellavista, a neighbouring district to Huabal. This lot is a blend of coffees from individual producers in the region, all of whom own around 1 to 2 hectares of coffee. The varieties in this blend are Marshel, Geisha, and Catuai. After picking, producers place cherries in a tank full of water to remove any floaters, then rest the cherries overnight in plastic bags to homogenise temperature and allow the coffee to rest before placing it on raised beds for 30–40 days. Once dry, producers bring their dry parchment to the Falcon Coffees warehouse in Jaén, where the coffee is cupped and graded, and producers are paid on the same day based on the quality they bring. Falcon Coffees Peru (FCP) was set up in 2019 to work directly with farmers in the northern producing region. FCP was one of the first exporters in the region to pay quality-differentiated prices at the farm gate level. In 2022 they added exports via producer cooperatives to give buyers more reliable access to third-party certified coffees.
