From the producer

This release is a multi-producer selection drawn primarily from small farms in the La Higuera and Vencedor communities. Origin Coffee Lab is the export and quality partner, not a single farm or farmer.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a Durham-based specialty roaster focused on direct-trade sourcing, sustainability, and transparency in the coffee supply chain.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

La Viuda preserves the identity of small Colasay communities whose coffees were historically bulked into anonymous commodity blends, while documenting the region’s locally named Bourbon de Colasay variety without mislabeling it as traditional Bourbon.
