From the producer

This regional lot comes from approximately 40 CENAPROC members in Nueva Llusta, Nueva Canaan, and Libertador, Bolivia.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a B Corp certified roaster based in Durham, North Carolina, known for its focus on transparent sourcing and long-term direct trade relationships.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A long-running cooperative relationship paired with new producer-owned dry-milling capacity in El Alto gives this regional lot unusually clear sourcing context.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Corrected the producer relationship

Replaced the three microlot farmers with CENAPROC, the cooperative Counter Culture identifies for this regional lot.

02
Removed an unsupported farm link

The source describes coffee from members in three communities, not a single named farm.

03
Completed the documented profile

Added the washed process, harvest window, published elevation range, varieties, cooperative context, and tasting notes.

04
Kept ratings separate

No exact-release independent review was verified, so no public sentiment score was added.

What was added?

CENAPROC producer link, Bolivia and Caranavi origin, washed process, harvest window, 1,500–1,800 meter range, Typica and Caturra, and verified tasting notes.

What wasn't added?

No single farm, variety record, midpoint altitude, retail price, or public sentiment score was added.

Why it matters

This distinguishes the main cooperative release from the separate microlot and prevents the site from attributing a multi-community lot to three individual farmers.

What you might taste

Cherry, vanilla, and hazelnut, according to Counter Culture.

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 2026-10-20) 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

Independent mentions found in search refer to earlier recurring Nueva Llusta crops, not this 2025 crop; the separate Nueva Llusta Microlot was also excluded. No numeric score was created.
