Counter Culture Coffee - Retail Kabeywa – Natural Sundried

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.

The Buliza coffee washing station sits high in the hills of the Rulindo district, a short drive from Rwanda's bustling capital of Kigali. Farmers belonging to the UCOCARU cooperative union bring their fresh coffee cherries to Buliza for processing, under the care of the washing station's experienced quality team. We’re once again sharing this lot as a dark-roasted single origin as a nod to our many customers who prefer this style of roasting. We taste deep notes of fig alongside syrupy notes of molasses and dark chocolate. Pronunciation…

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.

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…

Fundochamba is a small mountain community just outside of Quilanga in Ecuador’s Loja province. We purchase from a group of 14 growers in this area who have worked together to steadily improve quality and connect with the specialty market. This year, the group dedicated a small portion of their volume to a prolonged fermentation experiment. After pulping, this coffee was fermented in a cool, low-oxygen environment for about 72 hours. The resulting cup offers intricate fruit complexity and sweetness. We taste dark-fruit notes of concord grape and black cherry, swimming in a sweet, syrupy body.

High in the hills of Mount Elgon, a coffee-farming community works in near isolation, transporting each sack of coffee by foot or bike along rugged, nearly impassable roads.

With support from a Counter Culture Seeds grant, they built a community-run processing station that has given rise to one of the best coffees we’ve tasted in the country, Mabono Honey. Expect notes of blood orange, cherry, and dark chocolate. Pronunciation…
