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.

    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.

    What does medium roast mean?

    Coffees in the Balanced & Sweet category combine the best possible blend of acidity, sweetness, body, and roasted aroma. This is achieved by the medium roast, which adjusts the roasting time, bean temperature, and development time during the roasting process. During the roasting process, the slow drum roast promotes the development of a wide variety of aromas. This makes medium roast coffees particularly versatile, with flavor profiles appealing to a wide range of coffee drinkers.

    This roast is ideal for a balanced, aromatic espresso or Americano. The rich roasted aroma also serves as a good base for cappuccino, caffe latte, or other coffee specialties. The versatile sweetness of the roasted coffee beans blends with the milk sugar to create a harmonious milky coffee composition.

    What is medium roast coffee best for?

    Medium roast coffees are suitable for many preparation methods and almost all coffee machines. Especially for fans of the moka pot, also known as a screw-top coffee pot, the espresso roasts from the Balanced & Sweet category are recommended. Dark roasts can quickly taste burnt with this preparation method, while light roasts tend to be dominated by acidity. Our Dolce Cerrado from Brazil, in particular, is an exceptional talent for your Bialetti and will delight you with hazelnut and chocolate on the finish.

    The El Capitan and Oaxaca have proven particularly successful for fully automatic coffee machines. Thanks to its 25% Robusta content, our El Capitan also performs well in the brewing chambers of fully automatic coffee machines, combining chocolatey notes with exciting complexity and a medium roasted aroma in the cup. Our Oaxaca boasts flavors of nougat, wafer, and marzipan, while maintaining a low acidity. Learn how to properly set up your fully automatic coffee machine in our Brew Guide.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do the roasts for espresso and filter coffee differ in the same category?

    Yes, because the preparation method has a significant influence on the flavor. If you prepare an espresso roast as a filter coffee, the roasted aroma and bitterness will be more pronounced than with espresso itself. Conversely, the acidity of a filter coffee roast prepared as an espresso is more dominant than with a filter coffee. Therefore, it's worth classifying coffee varieties according to preparation method and flavor.
