On the palate, you can expect a delightful 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 for a balanced, sweet espresso and a harmonious base for milk coffees. Unión Majomut is a non-profit organization that connects about 1,000 families from 35 indigenous Tsotzil and Tseltal communities in the highlands of Chiapas, at elevations of 900 - 1600m. Organic coffee cultivation takes place on small, family-run farms in the shade among diverse crops. The organic fertilizers, diverse flora and fauna, and nutrient-rich soils ensure particularly good growth of the coffee plants. The cooperative was founded in 1981 by small coffee producers with the goal 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 new construction of homes, better food self-sufficiency, and the promotion of economic participation for female members. All programs are shaped by the customs and traditions of the indigenous communities. Through direct trade with Majomut, the producers achieve a significantly higher income than by selling to intermediaries, and through the long-term, stable relationship with Süssmund, they are independent of the volatile fluctuations of raw material markets.
