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.

Counter Culture Coffee - Retail Mountain Harvest Peaberry
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.

Counter Culture Coffee - Retail K’uychi
Since 2015, we’ve purchased coffee from producers nestled deep in the mountains of Nariño, Colombia.

Counter Culture Coffee - Retail Hassan Assalol - Natural Sundried **SOLD OUT**
Yemen’s port of Mokha has played a vital role in the global spread of coffee, and its farms preserve a rich diversity of unique and delicious coffee varieties that are well adapted to harsh climates.

Urcunina is the name indigenous Quillasingas people call the Galeras volcano, a striking landmark in La Florida, Nariño.
