The Producer & Coffee
Pedro Garcia Diaz owns 4ha of land in the San Francisco village, in the district of San Jose del Alto. Pedro grows bourbon, tabi, caturra and pache varieties. His farm produces 80 exportable bags of coffee per year. Although Pedro lives in the city, his family manages the farm. During the harvest season and when they prune and apply fertilizer, Pedro spends time on the farm. The coffee is selectively picked and then cherries are dried for 30 days in raised beds.
San Jose del Alto is an area with huge potential for quality coffee, located a 4-hour drive from Jaen. Some of the coffees from this area have a very distinct cup profile, full of complexity and bursting with floral notes. Unfortunately, the area is slightly isolated, with poor roads, and far from the city of Jaen. As a result, it has received very little investment, both in general and in terms of coffee production. This lack of investment means many farmers remain unassociated, and there isn't much of a presence from cooperatives or associations. As a result, coffee quality has remained low, and intermediaries rule the roost. While it is very challenging to work in San Jose del Alto, the quality potential and impact that can be made on producers make it worthwhile and one of the most exciting areas of Peru and Latin America.
The Importer
Falcon Coffee
Falcon Coffees is new to the Makeworth supply chain in 2026, and they made a strong first impression.
Founded in the UK in 2008, Falcon has grown into a genuinely global operation with origin representation in Peru, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Rwanda, and sales offices in Lewes, Austin, and Berlin. They source across 26 origins on behalf of more than 1,000 roasters worldwide, which on paper sounds like the kind of scale that sacrifices depth for breadth. In practice, it hasn't.
What caught our attention was the consistency. Multi-origin importers can be uneven — strong in one region, average in another. Falcon's lots across every origin we sampled held up. Our QC team cupped through their offer list without a weak link, which is rarer than it should be at this scale. They don't dictate prices from origin — producers and exporters set their own price based on cost of production, market conditions, variety, and cup scores, and that philosophy shows in the quality that actually arrives.
We're looking forward to building this relationship and seeing what they bring to the table in the seasons ahead.
