Why some details are blank
  • component identityThe mystery format intentionally conceals the names of both coffees.
  • country region farm producerNo origin or producer details are published for either bag.
  • varietyCultivars for both coffees are undisclosed.
  • harvestNo crop year or harvest period is published.
  • altitude mNo elevations are published.
  • fermentation and dryingThe page labels the bundle washed but does not disclose each coffee's fermentation or drying protocol.
  • roast levelThe two coffees have different roast descriptions, so no single roast level applies.

From the producer

The bundle intentionally conceals the identities of both coffees; no farm or producer can be assigned safely.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a Durham-based specialty coffee roaster founded in 1995 that focuses on direct-trade sourcing, sustainability, and coffee education.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A limited two-coffee mystery set built around contrasting medium-dark and light profiles; it must not be represented as one traceable lot or a conventional blend.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Bundle identity corrected

Reframed the record as two separate mystery coffees rather than one coffee or one blended lot.

02
Current commercial details verified

Updated the exact listing to $34 for two 12-ounce bags and confirmed an active Add to Cart state on October 24, 2026.

03
Profile split preserved

Documented the black bag's medium-dark nutty/chocolate-caramel profile and the white bag's light cherry/berry/candy-like profile without collapsing them into one roast.

What was added?

Verified the two-bag structure, total 680 g format, $34 price, current availability, contrasting roast descriptions, washed listing label, and sensory descriptors.

What wasn't added?

No country, region, farm, producer, variety, crop year, detailed fermentation, drying, owner tasting score, or public sentiment score was invented.

Why it matters

A bundle page can look like a single product in catalog data, but its two concealed coffees do not share one provenance or roast profile.

What you might taste

The black bag is described as nutty, chocolatey, caramel-rich, and smooth; the white bag as cherry, berry, fruity, candy-like, and sweet.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.
