Aruco Mill

This coffee is a blend from various producers participating in Aruco's micro-lot program, initiated during the 2016/17 harvest in collaboration with Falcon. In total, 34 producers contributed to this program. The blend consists of naturally processed coffee from varietals such as Parainema, Lempira, IHCAFE 90, and Red Catuai. Producers receive up to 70% of the final FOB for micro-lots they produce.

All micro-lot processing occurs at the Aruco mill, situated at 800 masl, ensuring greater control and consistency, and providing a drier, more stable climate for drying. Coffee is assessed upon delivery, cleaned, washed, and floated to remove immature cherries before drying in solar tents for 15-20 days, with regular turning.

The Aruco Cooperative, founded in 2006 by 14 producers, is located in Corquín, Copán Department, near the Guatemalan border. It was established to achieve fairer prices for their high-quality coffees, taking its name from Río Aruco, which originates in the Celaque National Park. The cooperative now supports over 200 producers, cultivating at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,600 masl and growing varieties like Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, IHCAFE 90, and Geisha. Aruco offers technical assistance, quality improvement, financial support, and promotes sustainable farming, being organic-certified. Currently, it produces 16,000 69kg bags of coffee annually, exporting worldwide and to the internal Honduran market.

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. Their purpose is to help drive this change.

They 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.
