From the producer

ASUVIM brings together about 65 smallholder producers from three Lake Atitlán communities. Members deliver ripe cherries to a central mill in Paquip, and the association supplies the primary cooperative Manos Campesinas.

From the roaster

Counter Culture has worked with ASUVIM since 2013 and identifies this as a clean, vibrant, certified-organic community lot.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The release preserves three distinct community origins and a central-mill relationship without presenting ASUVIM as one estate or assigning the coffee to an individual farmer.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Community cherry collection

Approximately 65 producers deliver ripe cherries to ASUVIM’s central mill in Paquip.

02
Washed processing

Counter Culture identifies the exact 2024–2025 release as washed.

03
Release-specific drying

The current product page does not publish the drying surface or duration for this harvest.

What was added?

No added ingredients or starter cultures are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

Counter Culture states that it does not add flavoring agents; no fruit, spices, or post-roast flavors are documented.

Why it matters

The profile distinguishes current release facts from older ASUVIM auction records and avoids treating the association as a single farm.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists stone fruit, milk chocolate, and a syrupy body.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-14) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Coffee List identifies the exact release but shows zero ratings. Historical Cup of Excellence scores describe older ASUVIM lots, not this December 2024–April 2025 release, and were excluded.
