This shade-grown organic Arabica coffee is a pleasingly nutty coffee perfect for any time of day. The caffeine was gently extracted before roasting using the safe CO2 extraction method. Aromas of nougat, waffle, and cocoa are accompanied by a subtle hint of apple. The medium roast enhances this balanced interplay of sweetness, roasted flavors, and acidity.

The Cafeticultores Orgánicos de Oaxaca (Coroax) cooperative was founded in 2012 and consists of 2,000 family-run farms, primarily owned by indigenous people from the Oaxaca region. In December 2022, we had the opportunity to visit Coroax and were impressed by the natural beauty of the Sierra surrounding Oaxaca City and the warmth of its members. You can read more about our trip in our post on the coffee blog.

On average, a family owns around 3 hectares of cultivated land in the high-altitude mountain regions of the state. Joining the cooperative enables these small farmers to improve the quality of their green coffee and market it more effectively.

All coffee farms in the cooperative adhere to strict organic farming guidelines. This producer is particularly distinguished by its commitment to preserving the biodiversity of the local flora and fauna, as well as ensuring fair compensation for small-scale farmers. We are especially pleased to present this low-acid Arabica from Coroax.

We are pleased to present this versatile decaffeinated coffee. This organic decaf is suitable as an espresso, cappuccino, or nutty-sweet filter coffee.

On the palate, you'll find a delicious sweetness of nuts, nougat, and marzipan, paired with a subtle fruitiness reminiscent of ripe apples. The medium roast gives this coffee a pleasant finish of milk chocolate and waffle. This makes it suitable both for a balanced, sweet espresso and as a harmonious base for milk-based coffee drinks.

Unión Majomut, a non-profit organization, unites approximately 1,000 families from 35 indigenous communities of the Tsotzil and Tseltal ethnic groups in the highlands of Chiapas, at altitudes of 900–1600 meters. Organic coffee cultivation takes place on small, family-run farms in the shade among various other crops. The organic fertilizers, diverse flora and fauna, and nutrient-rich soils ensure exceptionally healthy coffee plant growth.

The cooperative was founded in 1981 by small-scale coffee producers with the aim of improving the living conditions of its members through the production, processing, and marketing of organic coffee and other organic products. In addition to food security, environmental protection and the democratic participation of all members are cornerstones of this cooperative.

The holistic improvement of living conditions includes programs for the renovation and construction of housing, improved food self-sufficiency, and the promotion of the economic participation of female members. All programs are shaped by the customs and traditions of the indigenous communities.

Through direct trade with Majomut, the producers achieve a far higher income than when selling to intermediaries and, thanks to the long-term, stable relationship with Süssmund, are independent of the volatile fluctuations of the commodity markets.

Flavor profile:

Süssmund's first Arabica Blend is a low-acid dark roast, very chocolatey and full-bodied. It was inspired by strong women (mujeres fuertes) in coffee cultivation. In search of suitable green coffees, we found what we were looking for at two cooperatives from Colombia (El Bombo) and Peru (La Prosperidad de Chirinos).

Both cooperatives specifically promote the economic participation and health of women in coffee cultivation. Measures include imparting knowledge to optimize agricultural techniques and the subsequent processing of coffee cherries on the farm. This allows members to improve the quality and output of their harvest and generate a higher income. The Prosperidad de Chirinos cooperative also pays female producers in the "Cosecha de Mujer" program an additional premium for each bag of coffee.

The producers' farms are designed as mixed crops. Among the coffee bushes, cultivated plants provide shade, healthy soil conditions, and habitat for birds and insects. The cultivated plants and their organic fertilizers thus enable rich biodiversity.

The ripe coffee cherries are picked by hand and then processed directly on the farms. First, the coffee beans are separated from the pulp using small manual pulpers. Then, the beans are fermented in tanks for 12 - 36 hours and subsequently washed in water basins. After wet processing (washed), the coffee beans are dried on raised beds before the dried parchment is transported to the dry mill. There, the beans are separated from the parchment, sorted by quality, and prepared for export.

We are delighted to present this delightfully chocolatey espresso to you. It tastes particularly good as a classic espresso, but also harmonizes very well with milk.
