Finca Fatima Garnica, Mexico

Falcon Coffees is a specialty green coffee trader, with a focus on sustainability, collaboration, and positive social and environmental impact.

To condense their work into words is indeed a challenge, but in our experience at Tenfold, Falcon is a superlative trader, who embodies their values in all they do. With a robust network of people (85 staff), offices (across 10 countries and 5 continents), and community initiatives (environmental, social, governance), they seek to improve livelihoods across the supply chain.

As they put it themselves;

“Falcon was born out of the conviction that the coffee industry has the potential to drive enormous socio-economic change and harness environmental stewardship across a geo-political landscape that is home to both vulnerable communities and fragile ecosystems. Our purpose is to help drive this change.

We achieve this by focusing on quality. Improved quality increases household revenue through price premiums. Improved incomes are the economic incentive to better social and environmental practices. Higher standards combine with higher quality to drive market demand.”

Finca Fatima

Siblings Ernesto Perez and Givette Perez-Orea are the third generation producers of the family farm Finca Fatima, located in Consolapan-Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico.

Since 2018 they have guided Fatima into the specialty market, from its former status as a producer of high-quality commodity lots. Since that time, they have won the Mexican Cup of Excellence twice, in 2019 and 2021, and showcased the terroir of Veracruz to the public through agrotourism at the estate, where guests can stay among the coffee trees, and the diversity of the land around them.

Known for their lots of Criolla, Typica, and Geisha, the Garnica from Finca Fatima not only represents the quality of the farm itself, but sheds light on this lesser known cultivar. Developed in 1960 by the long dissolved Mexican Institute of Coffee (INMECAFE), the high-yielding plant makes up 5% of Veracruz’ coffee production. Mexico’s version of the venerable Catuaí, created in Brazil some 12 years later in 1972 (Instituto Agronômico/IAC).

Since Tenfold’s inception, Falcon Coffees have been an invaluable resource for green coffee of exceptional quality, traceability, and consistency. Based in Austin, TX, their North American offices come stocked with people who are always helpful, kind, and resourceful. It’s easy to lean on them as an importer partner, and their dedication to positive change through quality has always resonated with us.
