Notes :

Coffee in Ethiopia is deeply connected to the country’s seasonal rhythms. The harvest peaks from November to January during the dry Bega season, after months of rainfall in Belg and Krempt that support flowering and cherry development. This natural cycle creates ideal conditions for producing some of the world’s most complex and sought-after coffees.

Falcon Coffee has been working closely with Ephtah Specialty Coffee, a producer dedicated to sustainable sourcing and community empowerment—especially through supporting women in coffee. One of their standout sites is the Lalesa washing stationin Gedeb, where cherries are shade-grown under enset trees, carefully sorted, and naturally processed on raised beds. The result is a vibrant, high-quality cup, shaped by generations of local knowledge and hands-on care.

Ephtah also invests heavily in the people behind the coffee, offering early payments, quality premiums, and educational support to farmers. Despite financial challenges linked to national policy shifts, they continue to grow—expanding drying capacity, improving infrastructure, and planning for long-term resilience. Lalesa is now the largest drying and washing station in the region, and a true reflection of their commitment to quality and community.
