Why some details are blank
  • region idThe source says Agaro and the Jimma area/district, but it does not establish that the app’s existing Jimma Zone record is the intended editorial relationship.
  • gradeThe exact release sources do not publish an export or quality grade.
  • variety idThe lot combines JARC 74110, JARC 74112, and Ethiopian landraces, so no single variety relationship accurately represents it.
  • altitude mThe source gives a 1,900–2,100 m range; a single point value would be misleading.
  • member-farm provenanceIndividual contributing farms and their proportions are not published for this cooperative lot.
  • fermentationThe exact release is washed, but its fermentation duration and washing sequence are not published.
  • drying methodThe exact release’s drying surface, duration, and endpoint are not disclosed.
  • roast dateRoast date is bag-specific and unavailable for this sold-out release.
  • brew recommendationNo official standalone exact-release brew recipe was found; third-party roast-level suggestions were not treated as roaster guidance.

From the producer

Duromina is a member-owned cooperative formed near Agaro in 2010. TechnoServe-supported training, business assistance, and wet-mill financing helped members move from low-priced commodity channels into specialty washed coffee; the cooperative later joined the farmer-owned Kata Muduga union.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee highlights this selection for its delicate, tea-like profile and floral aromatics. They emphasize the cooperative's success in elevating local coffee quality through sustainable development and training.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A well-documented cooperative release with a published harvest window, elevation range, three-part variety mix, washed process, and long-term institutional development. Individual member farms and contribution proportions remain undisclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Central washing

Counter Culture identifies the release as washed and describes Duromina's central washing facility as a key quality investment.

02
Undisclosed parameters

The exact fermentation duration, washing sequence, and drying protocol for this harvest were not published.

What was added?

No added ingredients or cultures are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

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

Why it matters

The documented washed classification and central wet-mill context are preserved without importing protocol details from another roaster or harvest. The captured $27 retail price for 12 oz is kept separate from Counter Culture's reported $4.52-per-pound FOB green-coffee payment.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists sweet tea, apricot, and honeysuckle.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
