After all, bad beans cannot be saved by great roasting.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>The coffee farmer is not only responsible for washing the coffee cherries, to remove the pulp, to ferment, and to dry them. He needs harvest workers who he can trust. Because they can distinguish between a ripe and an unripe coffee cherry, between a good and a bad bean. And he is responsible for the coffee plants. For their growth, the trimming, the fertilizer\/compost, the maintenance, the land, the productivity. He is responsible for the profitability of his farm. For the proceeds and the wages. For the people who depend on him. He is many things: Entrepreneur, caretaker, specialist \u2013 expert for unique taste.<\/p><p>That is why we treat <em>\u201cour\u201d<\/em> coffee farmers with respect and work on eye level. We pay fair trade prices, or we help with the prefinancing for, for example, new fermentation tanks or other equipment, as we did with the Demeter cultivation at La Chacra D\u2019Dago. That is the financial side.<\/p><p><em><strong>The other side is called trust.<\/strong><\/em> Trust in the knowledge and know-how of, for example, Dagoberto Marin, who runs his own biodynamic coffee farm with his family in Peru. We met him by chance in Peru in 2008. And we were impressed by him and his family and by his high standards for cultivation and dealing with nature. After 3 years, in 2011, we were able to start with the first Mount Hagen Demeter coffee*. The aromas of this single origin or better single estate are fascinating. Hazelnut meets chocolate. Fine acidity, a slight sweetness. Mild but still a full body. Not an Arabica blend with different beans complementing each other, but beans of the same type, which are so complex and refined that they can be turned into a single origin. And all of that is solely due to Dagoberto and his team. <em><strong>Respect, fairness, and appreciation simply have a very special aroma.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d3fe2d2\" data-id=\"d3fe2d2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6dca79d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6dca79d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0bb7bf\" data-id=\"c0bb7bf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c36a54\" data-id=\"5c36a54\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-711a13b elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"711a13b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.mounthagen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Mount-Hagen-Freunde-EN.mp4\" controls=\"\" preload=\"metadata\" controlsList=\"nodownload\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-35c889c\" data-id=\"35c889c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-72c0c5d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72c0c5d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-16 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-027dcb3\" data-id=\"027dcb3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6a33a9a\" data-id=\"6a33a9a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec63245 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec63245\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you like to learn more about Demeter coffee, its cultivation and advantages for, for example, the environment, we recommend reading the article \u201c<em><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mounthagen.de\/en\/organic-coffees\/origin-cultivation\/esoteric-or-meaningful\/\">Esoteric or meaningful?<\/a><\/em>\u201d in our rubric \u201c<em><a href=\"https:\/\/staging.mounthagen.de\/en\/organic-coffees\/\">organic coffees<\/a><\/em>\u201d.
