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.
