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 farming. In our search for the right green coffees, we found them 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. These measures include imparting knowledge on optimizing 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 higher incomes. The Prosperidad de Chirinos cooperative also pays female producers an additional premium for each sack of coffee in the "Cosecha de Mujer" program.

The producers' farms are designed as mixed crops. Crops planted between the coffee bushes provide shade, healthy soil, and habitat for birds and insects. The crops and their organic fertilizers thus enable a 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, hand-pulped machines. The beans are then fermented in tanks for 12–36 hours and subsequently washed in water basins. After the wet processing (washing), 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're delighted to present this indulgently chocolatey espresso. It tastes particularly good as a classic espresso, but also pairs beautifully with milk.

On the palate, you'll find a delicious sweetness of nuts, nougat, and marzipan, paired with subtle fruit reminiscent of ripe apples. The medium roast gives this coffee a pleasant finish of milk chocolate and wafers. This makes it ideal for both a balanced, sweet espresso and a harmonious base for lattes.

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

The cooperative was founded in 1981 by small-scale coffee producers with the goal 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 democratic participation of all members are cornerstones of this cooperative.

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

By trading directly with Majomut, producers earn a much higher income than by selling to intermediaries, and the long-term, stable relationship with Süssmund makes them independent of the volatile fluctuations of the commodity markets.

Our first 50/50 blend, Panther Royale, presents itself as wild and powerful as a big cat. Selected, washed Robusta beans from India give this blend a particularly full flavor and a pleasant caramel sweetness. The dark roasting completely reduces the acidity, allowing intense roasted aromas to dominate. This blend is harmoniously rounded off by two fine Arabica beans from India and Peru. On the palate, you can expect notes of granola, roasted almonds, caramel, and dark chocolate. Panther is best served as a strong espresso in a portafilter machine, fully automatic coffee machine, or moka pot, black or with milk.

India is better known for Robusta beans from the lowlands. The exquisite cup profile of this organic Arabica coffee from the Kerala region, grown in the highlands, is all the more pleasing. The democratically organized Plantrich cooperative has been producing coffee and numerous other organic agricultural products such as spices, herbs, fruits, and cocoa on these fertile soils for 40 years. In addition to organic farming and direct marketing of the products, the promotion of female producers is a central element of the cooperative. The medium roast delivers a complex interplay of caramelized sweetness and berry acidity in the cup. We are delighted to have this exciting, sustainably grown, and ethically traded coffee in our range.

This shade-grown organic Arabica coffee is a delightfully nutty, all-day brew. The caffeine was gently extracted using the safe CO2 process before roasting. Aromas of nougat, wafer, and cocoa are accompanied by a light apple note. The medium roast emphasizes this balanced interplay of sweetness, roasted aromas, and acidity.

The Cafeticultores Orgánicos de Oaxaca (Coroax) cooperative was founded in 2012 and consists of 2,000 family-run farms belonging to the predominantly indigenous population of the Oaxaca region. In December 2022, we were able to visit the Coroax and were impressed by the natural beauty of the mountains 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 land in the high mountain regions of the state. Joining forces in the cooperative enables smallholder farmers to improve the quality of their green coffee and market it more effectively.

All of the cooperative's coffee farms follow strict organic farming guidelines. This producer is particularly distinguished by its commitment to preserving the biodiversity of local flora and fauna, as well as fair payment to smallholder farmers. We are particularly pleased to present this low-acid Arabica from Coroax.

We're delighted to present this versatile decaffeinated coffee. This organic decaf coffee is perfect for espresso, cappuccino, or a nutty-sweet filter coffee.

This excellent lot was prepared 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 slightly larger than in the rest of Huila. The region became more heavily populated in the 19th and 20th centuries because there was still a lot of fertile land there. Huila is generally considered one of the best coffee-growing regions in Colombia, and is already known for its particularly high coffee quality.

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