Ulli Salamun completed the cabaret trio Maschek, but now spends most of his time in Nicaragua. There, he and his wife Sabine Khalil passionately run several certified organic coffee farms. The coffee plants are fertilized exclusively organically, without any synthetic fertilizers.

The Arabica plants ( red and yellow Catuai) grow in the shade of the many trees in the high-altitude Kilambé National Park at around 1700 meters. After harvesting, they are processed semi-dry specifically for Süssmund as "Honey." The mucilage is not removed before drying. The result is a low-acid, full-bodied coffee that is perfect as a chocolatey espresso or as a base for milk drinks.

Particularly noteworthy is the couple's social commitment to the local community, where they built a kindergarten in La Corneta in 2019. This coffee is a showcase project for sustainable coffee cultivation, both ecologically and socially. Therefore, we value this coffee so highly and support the project wholeheartedly.
