Why some details are blank
  • countryThe January 2026 page says Southern Hemisphere farms but does not publicly expose the component countries.
  • farmThe current roast-date selector does not expose farm identities in retrievable text.
  • producerThe current release does not publicly name contributing producers.
  • varietyThe current release does not publicly disclose component cultivars.
  • blend percentagesCurrent component identities and percentages are not exposed in the official retrievable selector; an uncorroborated directory claim was not promoted.
  • fermentation and dryingThe page labels the blend washed but gives no component-level fermentation or drying parameters.
  • roast dateThe January 5, 2026 selector is a release boundary, not a bag-specific roast date.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a pioneering specialty roaster based in Durham, NC, known for its focus on sustainable sourcing, direct trade, and extensive barista education.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This limited-release blend is designed to highlight the craft and care behind coffee production by featuring bright, crisp, and vibrant beans.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Fixed the release boundary

Documented the January 5, 2026 selector separately from the independently described January 2025 Borderlands/Idido formula.

02
Preserved component uncertainty

Kept current countries, farms, producers, cultivars and percentages blank because the official selector is not publicly exposed and an uncorroborated directory claim is insufficient.

03
Corrected commerce and sentiment evidence

Recorded the $26 USD / 12 oz sold-out offer, excluded Coffee List’s 0-rating sliders, and rejected Shop’s nine pooled product ratings as release-specific sentiment.

What was added?

Verified historical retail price, explicit January 2026 release boundary, refreshed sold-out status, and corrected public-sentiment exclusions.

What wasn't added?

No current component countries, farms, producers, cultivars, percentages, bag-specific roast date, owner tasting, house score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

Field Trip rotates by roast date; keeping release-specific facts separate prevents older formulas and pooled ratings from being presented as evidence for the January 2026 blend.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists blackberry, clementine, and sweetness.

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 2026-11-11) 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

Checked exact product and independent sources on 2026-11-11. Coffee List shows 0 ratings. Shop’s nine ratings are pooled across the rotating product name with no release separation. Maoxian’s January 2025 formula and Coffee Roast’s three-year-old review concern earlier releases. Seller attributes, directory sliders and uncorroborated component claims were excluded.
