Counter Culture Coffee - Retail Buliza

On land shaped by both profound loss and the deep dedication of the Rwandan coffee professionals who steward it, the Ruronzi coffee farm represents a new chapter in the country’s coffee story. Owned and managed by our exporting partner, Ikawa House, this natural sundried lot comes from their second-ever harvest and is one of the best naturals we’ve tasted from Rwanda. During harvesting, thorough attention paid to cherry ripeness and slow drying results in a clean cup and complex range of fruits–most notably, sweet concord grape and juicy strawberry.

A delicious cup of decaf is a beautiful thing. This lot was harvested by the producers of K’uychi in Nariño, Colombia, and decaffeinated at Colombia’s only decaffeination plant, which uses a derivative of sugarcane, called ethyl acetate, in the process. The result is one of the sweetest and most complex cups of decaf we've ever tasted, with notes of black cherry, dried date, and molasses. Pronunciation…

The Intango coffee washing station is owned by Gilbert Gatali, a widely recognized leader in Rwanda’s relatively young and thriving specialty coffee sector. Gilbert believes in coffee's potential to transform lives and his passion for coffee and the people behind it are inspiring to witness. This year, we’re excited to explore how a darker roasting style offers new dimensions to the delicate and fruity flavors often found in Rwandan coffees. At this roast level, we first notice a full and velvety body complemented by sweet flavors of dark chocolate and dried fig. Pronunciation…

This coffee comes to us via Mountain Harvest, a company working to improve the quality of Ugandan coffee while making the communities that grow it more sustainable. This coffee is a special peaberry selection from farms on Mount Elgon. Peaberries occur when one seed develops inside a coffee fruit instead of two. Sorting them out is extra work, but it’s worth it for their dynamic and sweet flavors. We taste apricot, black tea, and coconut.

This coffee comes to us via Mountain Harvest, a company working to improve the quality of Ugandan coffee while making coffee communities more sustainable. We’ve been partners since 2018, their first season of production, noting and encouraging improvements over time. For the second year in a row, we are thrilled to offer Makali as a subscriber-exclusive product. Forty-five women in the Makali community produced this coffee. Women in eastern Africa do much of the work to produce coffee, but are not often encouraged to participate in its trade.

The Java variety has a long history, with its genetic origins traced to regional landraces in western Ethiopia. As a variety known for producing high quality, the team at Finca Aurora has experimented with anaerobic processing to further accentuate Java’s unique potential. When done well, coffees processed in this way often result in profiles that are more fruit-forward and vibrant than their traditionally-washed counterparts. This particular convergence of genetics and anaerobic processing produced one of the most unique coffees we've tasted from Nicaragua.

In a small village deep within the Incahuasi Valley, Lucio Luque cultivates a vibrant coffee parcel, Nuevo Progresso. This section of his farm stands out for its exclusive planting of a unique variety that has redefined the region's potential for quality. Lucio's enthusiasm for this variety caught our attention, prompting us to collaborate with the cooperative and our supply chain partners to separate this coffee from the larger blend it was originally destined for. The outcome is a coffee that captivates with fruity notes of blood orange and bubble gum underpinned by delicate florals.
