Why some details are blank
  • farm idThe release aggregates unnamed member farms; the cooperative is a producer organization, not a single estate.
  • altitude mCounter Culture publishes only a 1,150–1,500-meter range, so no midpoint was invented.
  • fermentation and dryingThe current product page says washed but does not publish duration, washing sequence, or lot-specific drying.
  • variety proportionsFour cultivars are documented, but their proportions are not published.
  • roast dateNo bag-specific roast date is available from the public listing.

From the producer

Cinco de Junio is a cooperative of roughly 130 smallholder farmers around Las Sabanas in Nicaragua’s Madriz department. Counter Culture began buying from the group in 2009 and describes this as its longest-running Nicaraguan partnership.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a B Corp-certified specialty roaster that publishes seasonal sourcing, crop, price, and sensory information for its coffees.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Counter Culture’s partnership with Cinco de Junio dates to 2009. The cooperative has rebuilt through coffee-leaf-rust losses, political and economic pressure, and climate risk while investing in quality feedback and infrastructure.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Member aggregation

The release combines deliveries from Cinco de Junio cooperative members around Las Sabanas.

02
Washed processing

Counter Culture identifies the current release as washed.

03
Undisclosed finishing

Release-specific fermentation, washing, and drying parameters are not published.

What was added?

No added ingredient or starter culture is disclosed on the current product page.

What wasn't added?

No co-ferment, post-roast flavoring, or fruit addition is documented; no broader absence claim is inferred.

Why it matters

The page now separates a cooperative community lot from a named estate and records the full cultivar mix and elevation range without inventing farm identities or proportions.

What you might taste

Apple, dark chocolate, and sweet almond.
