Coffee Description
Way up on the tippy top of the tall Sierra Madre mountains in Oaxaca, Mexico sits a small, mystical town on the cliff of the Pacific Ocean called Pluma Hidalgo-- the region where our newest release comes from. The combination of the high altitude coupled with the coastal terroir makes the Pluma region coffees straight up magical.
And we just visited our favorite farms there in August & the special crops we selected are finally arriving. The first of our picks is a small lot from San Vicente. But, don't wait, we only have a small run of this exclusive lot.
We are known for our groundbreaking single-origin blends where we create unique coffee journeys. But, every once in awhile, we unveil a single-origin release on its own.
We get tasting notes of hot toddy, candied apricot and orange peel finish. Which is all a fancy way to say it's delicious, sweet & buttery. Perfect cozy cup.
It will make you fall in love with Oaxaca. It's safe to say we're hooked & we're wishing it was a longer run.

Lady Falcon Coffee Club
Our name Lady Falcon Coffee Club is a respectful nod to an era in San Francisco’s Ocean Beach history. In the 1880s, an impromptu neighborhood of abandoned streetcars on Judah Street became “Carville-by-the-Sea.” Carville housed many a freethinker. The Falcon Ladies Bicycling Club was one of the first streetcars in the bunch and helped shape the legend of Carville.
Now, why would ladies need a bicycling club? These women were rebels in their own way, in their own day. Ladies straddling bicycles in the late 1800s... women couldn’t even legally vote then and were restricted by corsets and petticoats. With bicycling, a freedom of movement liberated them. They must have felt like they had wings.
With deep roots on Judah Street in San Francisco, we sought to imagine the lives of these forerunners who built the spirit of the neighborhood on a sand dune we love so well -- with recycled streetcars, grit, tenacity and a passion for fun.
They found like-minded bohemians and artists and created a club in the outskirts of the City, in a new neighborhood that embraced and appreciated their quirkiness as well as their flair for originality.
Our coffee harnesses that spirit of originality, as we handcraft our coffee the old fashioned way and with our own unique style—in our own way, in our own day.
We hope you will love it.
