- Food
In this episode Rachel Beebe, head roaster at Steampunk, talks with Line Cosmidis from Falcon Coffee. Line is an agronomist who is head of sales at Falcon Specialty. She talks to us about Falcon Peru a project they launched to link smallholder farmers in remote areas of Peru to the specialty market.
Steampunk has bought three lots of coffee through the project: La Huaca in 2018, which came from several regional farms, and this year, Freddy Bermeo and Herminio Raimirez. We just finished the last of the coffee from Mr. Raimirez, so hopefully you were lucky enough to try it while it lasted. After our conversation Line messaged to say that two of the farmers they work with have placed in the Peru Cup of Excellence competition. Eli Espinoza placed 8th and Fidel Huancas placed 4th. It’s really exciting for everyone involved with the project and it speaks to the quality of the coffee they’re producing and exporting. We are looking forward to tasting and roasting this Peruvian coffee for years to come.
We hope you enjoy this episode. Please do follow if you would like to hear future episodes and share with others who may be interested too.
