Counter Culture Coffee - Retail Pablo Cordoba

Since 2015, we’ve purchased coffee from producers nestled deep in the mountains of Nariño, Colombia. The area has a history of heavy guerrilla activity that, for decades, isolated the community and discouraged collective business efforts. Against all odds, the producers of K’uychi have worked together to improve their farms, conserve their community’s natural resources, and bring us this wonderful coffee. We taste notes of green grape, clementine, and milk chocolate. Pronunciation…

This coffee represents the continued evolution of a partnership we’ve maintained for nearly 2 decades. Growers in the Orgánica cooperative have focused on achieving the highest quality in every aspect of their production, including planting higher-quality, harder-to-grow varieties.

While the cup may not present the overt florals often associated with these varieties’ Ethiopian lineage, it offers a compelling expression of Colombia’s evolving coffee culture. Expect sweet flavors of raspberry and honey, balanced by a tea-like body.

We have purchased—and loved—Damian Espinoza’s coffee since 2018, and it’s been a staple on our menu each year. When we heard of Damian’s experiments with natural-sundried lots, our curiosity was piqued. This style of processing is uncommon in Peru. This lot is one of the cleanest examples of natural processing we’ve encountered from this region, brimming with flavors of Concord grape, creamsicle, and almond.

Women in eastern Africa do much of the work to produce coffee, but are not often encouraged to participate in its trade.
