From the producer

K'uychi is a collective identity for small-scale producers in the Samaniego area of Nariño, not a single farm.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a specialty roaster focused on transparent trade and sustainable sourcing, known for its direct relationships with small-scale producers.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This collective coffee documents a long-term sourcing relationship with producers in a remote part of Nariño that was historically isolated by conflict.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Built the missing editorial profile

Added collective-origin, partnership, project-context, process, taste, and evidence sections.

Connected the mixed-variety record

Linked the existing Field Blend record for the verified Castillo and Colombia mix; no new variety or farm was created.

Corrected the elevation field

Removed the inferred 1,750 m midpoint and preserved Counter Culture’s disclosed 1,700–1,800 m range in text.

Protected price and score integrity

The official archive does not disclose consumer price or package size, and no independent exact-release tasting was found, so those fields remain blank and public sentiment remains unrated.

What was added?

Four editorial sections, explicit unknowns, the existing Field Blend relationship, and corrected elevation handling.

What wasn't added?

No individual farm, contributor list, cultivar proportions, package size, retail price, processing timings, FOB price, or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now represents K’uychi as a collective coffee and preserves disclosed ranges instead of converting them into false precision.

What you might taste

Green grape, clementine, and milk chocolate, based on Counter Culture’s tasting notes.

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

What we found

Fresh exact-name searches found the official release and an exact catalog page with zero ratings. Catalog-generated profile sliders, Decaf K’uychi discussions, and other harvests were excluded. No public sentiment rating was calculated.

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.
