Our commitment to Radical Transparency begins here, with the people behind the process.

At MEK·IDIM, we don’t just source coffee. We cultivate relationships rooted in trust, fairness, and shared growth. This space is dedicated to the farmers, families, and communities who pour generations of knowledge, care, and culture into every harvest.

THIS IS THEIR PAGE. THIS IS THEIR STORY.

ULRICH & SABINE

Ulrich Salamun and Sabine Khalil, once anchored in the world of European performance and arts, now dedicate their days to cultivating organic-certified coffee in the highlands of Nicaragua’s Kilambé National Park. At 1700m elevation, beneath a natural canopy, their Arabica plants flourish, nourished with only organic compost and intention.

Their coffee, honey-processed with care, produces a full-bodied, low-acid profile perfect for espresso. But it’s their deeper commitment that sets them apart: In 2019, they funded and built a kindergarten in La Corneta — a lasting imprint of their belief in community development.

ALINE & ODETTE

Aline and Odette founded the Mbizi Washing Station, a collective of resilience for women, many of whom are widows. Their organic methods yield a sweet, deep, and rooted coffee, which mirrors their mission to restore dignity and sisterhood in the Kamonyi District.

ANDRADE FAMILY

With 120 years of heritage and soil as rich as their coffee, the Andrade family are masters of craft and caretakers of legacy. Founders of the Brazil Specialty Coffee Association, they grow on volcanic soil under ideal seasonal rhythms. Their pulped natural process gives this filter roast a creamy body, chocolate tones, and gentle fruit whisper

ASOBOMBO WOMEN’S
GROUP

In the hills of Pitalito, 15 women farmers of the Asobombo Cooperative are redefining what Colombian coffee can be. With farms averaging 3–5 hectares, they hand-pick, ferment, and dry their beans with a level of care that can only come from generational stewardship. Their roast sings vibrant and tea-like with a soft biscuit finish

COOPERATIVE UNIÓN
MAJOMUT

Founded in 1981, Unión Majomut is a cooperative of over 1,000 Tsotzil and Tseltal indigenous families. Their organic farming is as much about sovereignty and tradition as it is about coffee. Through their initiatives, from home renovation to female empowerment, they’ve built a holistic model of living well.

Their roast is nostalgic: nutty, chocolatey, and smooth, with a sweet marzipan depth.
