Of particular note is the couple's social commitment to the local community, where they built a kindergarten in La Corneta in 2019. This coffee is a model project for sustainable coffee cultivation in both ecological and social terms. That's why we especially value this coffee and support the project wholeheartedly.

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 our search for the perfect green coffee beans, we found what we were looking for at two cooperatives in Colombia (El Bombo) and Peru (La Prosperidad de Chirinos).

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

The producers' farms are designed as mixed-crop systems. Crops planted among the coffee bushes provide shade, healthy soil, and habitat for birds and insects. These crops and their organic fertilizers thus enable rich biodiversity.

The ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked and then processed directly on the farms. First, the coffee beans are separated from the pulp using small, hand-operated pulpers. Next, the beans are fermented in tanks for 12-36 hours and then washed in water basins. After this 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 deliciously chocolatey espresso. It tastes particularly good as a classic espresso, but also harmonizes very well with milk.

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.

Wild and powerful like a predator, our first 50/50 blend, the Panther Royale, presents itself. Select, washed Robusta beans from India give this blend a particularly full flavor and a pleasant caramel sweetness. The dark roast completely reduces the acidity, allowing intense roasted aromas to dominate. This blend is harmoniously complemented by two fine Arabica beans from India and Peru. On the palate, you can expect notes of granola, toasted almond, caramel, and dark chocolate. The Panther is best suited as a strong espresso for portafilter machines, fully automatic coffee machines, and moka pots, black or with milk.

We are delighted to present the new harvest of this fine organic Arabica from the Kerala region. This medium roast from India impresses with a harmonious interplay of caramelized sweetness and berry acidity. The aftertaste of cocoa and brioche makes this an exciting coffee that harmonizes beautifully both as espresso and with milk.

India is better known for its Robusta beans from the lowlands. All the more pleasing, then, is the exquisite cup profile of this organic coffee grown in the highlands. On these fertile soils, the democratically organized Plantrich cooperative has been producing numerous organic agricultural products such as coffee, spices, herbs, fruits, and cacao for 40 years. In addition to organic cultivation and direct marketing of its products, the cooperative places particular emphasis on supporting female producers.

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.

This excellent lot was processed by 15 female coffee farmers from the Asobombo cooperative in Huila. In the Pitalito region, most farms are around 3-5 hectares in size, making them somewhat larger than in the rest of Huila. The region saw increased settlement in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the abundance of fertile land. Huila is generally considered one of the best coffee-growing regions in Colombia, a country already renowned for its exceptionally high-quality coffee.

The women of the Asobombo cooperative hand-pick their ripe, sweet coffee cherries and begin processing them directly on the farm. After pulping, the coffee beans ferment for 12-36 hours in water tanks. The parchment is then washed and dried on covered raised beds. Due to the high humidity in the region, the parchment is turned frequently to ensure even drying.

This summery, light filter coffee shines with a fruity-sweet taste of red currant and citrus zest, tea-like aromas reminiscent of green Sencha tea, and a delicate biscuit finish.
