Griselda Nimia Rioja Tarrillo is a coffee producer living in Perlamayo, located in the Huabal District of Jaén Province, Cajamarca Region. She manages two farms: El Barejon: Located in Perlamayo at an altitude of 1978 metres above sea level, this plot has 2 hectares of coffee in production, mainly growing Caturra and Costa Rica varieties.
La Piedra: Also in Perlamayo, this plot is situated at an altitude of 1850 metres above sea level and has 2 hectares of coffee in production, focusing on Bourbon and Caturra varieties. Additionally, Griselda has set aside another 3 hectares for future coffee planting in a different area. Griselda's coffee processing method involves letting the cherries rest for 24 to 40 hours after harvesting, followed by pulping the cherries and fermenting the beans for approximately 24 hours in bags. After fermentation stops, the beans are washed twice and then dried on beds and tarpaulins for around 30 days. Griselda and her family, who are also coffee producers, have been working with Falcon since 2019.
