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.
