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.
