Agrocafe El Tambo is a farmer association in Nariño. Nuevo Amanecer, meaning New Dawn, is the association's coffee brand rather than a single farm.
Counter Culture Coffee is a specialty roaster focused on transparent sourcing, sustainability, and building long-term, equitable partnerships with coffee producers.
The association emerged from the Catholic Relief Services Borderlands Coffee Project and uses collective organization to connect member farmers with specialty-coffee markets.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Added four sections covering the subscriber release, association history, collective selection, 2019 producer-organization project, process limits, taste, and public evidence.
Linked the existing Field Blend record because the exact lot contains Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia; no new variety or farm was created.
Kept the 2019 nursery, biofertilizer, and training project clearly distinct from the 2025 coffee’s undocumented processing details.
The roaster’s highest-scoring language was not converted into a cupping score, and no independent exact-release sentiment source was found.
Editorial narrative, unknown-field explanations, the existing Field Blend relationship, and source-backed association-project context.
No individual farm, contributor list, cultivar proportions, detailed fermentation or drying protocol, numeric selection score, price, or public sentiment rating was inferred.
The page now explains both the release and the association’s broader work without treating organization-level history as farm- or lot-level detail.
Pomegranate, red grape, and a syrupy texture, based on Counter Culture’s tasting notes.

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.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-11) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Fresh exact-name searches found Counter Culture’s release and producer-program material, but no independent tasting that could be matched to this subscriber-exclusive 2025 lot. No public sentiment rating was calculated.
