  • bag size gCounter Culture's archived page does not expose a consumer package weight.
  • process idThe release combines anaerobic honey and natural sundried components; assigning one process relationship would misrepresent the coffee.

From the producer

Claudia Abril and Max Pérez founded Finca La Hermosa in 2010 and maintain a dedicated Gesha planting among the farm’s diverse varieties.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a B Corp certified roaster focused on sustainable sourcing and transparent trade practices.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A same-farm, same-variety process blend that lets honey and natural processing contribute distinct characteristics without being mislabeled as one process.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Split the Gesha harvest

Two Finca La Hermosa Gesha components were processed separately.

02
Anaerobic honey component

Mucilage remained on the seed during two days of anaerobic fermentation.

03
Natural component

Whole cherries dried for 30 days on raised beds.

04
Roasted together

Counter Culture roasted the two processed components together as one release.

What was added?

No fruit, spices, flavoring agents, or outside ingredients are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

Blend percentages and the honey component’s drying method and duration are not published.

Why it matters

The page preserves both processing paths instead of forcing the coffee into a false single-process tag.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists blueberry, honeysuckle, and limeade.

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 2026-10-10) 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's exact-product page reports zero ratings. Its body, acidity, sweetness, bitterness, character, and roast axes are catalog profile fields without a verified independent tasting-review sample, so no public-sentiment score was created.

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.
