Marysabel Caballero, a fourth-generation coffee farmer, and Moisés Herrera established Finca El Puente in Chinacla and have partnered with Counter Culture since 2005. Their work combines careful processing, variety trials, worker support, and continual quality improvement.
Counter Culture Coffee is a B Corp certified roaster based in Durham, North Carolina, known for its focus on sustainable sourcing and transparent trade relationships with farmers.
The 2026 release marks a process change for the farm’s signature Catuaí. By leaving more mucilage on the parchment with mechanical demucilagers, the producers reduced washing while creating a brighter, fruitier honey-process profile.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Current name, product URL, honey process, $25 price, availability, harvest and blackberry, chocolate and apricot notes.
No midpoint altitude or independent sentiment score was manufactured.
Farm-level continuity does not make separate harvests and processing styles interchangeable.

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.

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.
