Why some details are blank

gradeThe exact Counter Culture page does not publish a formal green-coffee grade.
altitude mThe release aggregates farms across 1,200–2,200 meters; no defensible single point elevation is published.
variety idThe release combines SL28, SL14, and Nyasaland/Bugisu; no single variety relationship applies.
fermentationThe page identifies washed processing but does not disclose release-specific fermentation parameters.
drying methodThe exact release page does not disclose the drying surface or duration.
roast dateNo bag-specific roast date was published for the archived release.
public sentiment ratingThe exact independent catalogs provide no qualifying hands-on score; two explicitly show zero ratings.

From the producer

Mountain Harvest works with smallholder farmers on Mount Elgon, providing agronomy training and supporting intercropping and diversification on plots that average about one acre.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a specialty roaster known for its commitment to transparency, sustainability, and direct-trade relationships with coffee producers.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This lot is a peaberry selection: single, rounded seeds were separated during milling from coffees grown by Mount Elgon smallholders. Counter Culture highlights the selection for its dynamic sweetness and notes of apricot, black tea, and coconut.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Verified the exact release

Reconfirmed the September 2023–January 2024 Mountain Harvest peaberry selection, contributor altitude range, varieties, washed process, light roast, and roaster notes.

Recovered retail facts

Added the historical $22/12 oz price after independent exact-release corroboration by Coffee List and coffeeDB.

Corrected a pricing contradiction

Excluded Beans with Beanie’s $3.95/lb display because Counter Culture identifies that number as FOB green-coffee pricing, not a retail bag price.

Audited public sentiment

Documented three exact independent catalog pages; Coffee List and Beans with Beanie both report zero ratings, so no sentiment score was inferred.

What was added?

Corroborated $22/12 oz historical retail pricing, corrected price-context documentation, and refreshed exact-release source provenance.

What wasn't added?

No point altitude, single variety relation, fermentation duration, drying protocol, formal grade, roast date, owner score, or public sentiment rating was inferred.

Why it matters

The profile now distinguishes the retail bag price from the roaster’s FOB green-coffee figure and keeps catalog metadata separate from tasting evidence.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists apricot, black tea, and coconut.

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

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

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.
