From the producer

Forty-five independent small farms in Okoluu supply hand-picked cherries. Sookoo Coffee manages receiving, sorting, drying, and export; it is the processing partner rather than the sole grower.

From the roaster

Counter Culture highlights the village lot’s precise natural drying and its strawberry, blood-orange, and wildflower profile.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The current release documents an unusually complete natural-drying protocol while preserving the distinction between the 45 farms and Sookoo Coffee’s processing role.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Selective delivery and sorting

Farmers deliver hand-picked cherries, and Sookoo employees remove underripe, overripe, and pest-damaged fruit by hand.

02
Raised-bed natural drying

Whole cherries dry in thin layers for 18–21 days and are turned six times each day.

03
Overnight protection and moisture control

Beds are covered with mesh and plastic at night; cherries are removed at 9.5–10.5% moisture.

What was added?

No added ingredients or starter cultures are disclosed.

What wasn't added?

Counter Culture states that it does not add flavoring agents; no fruit, spices, or post-roast flavors are documented.

Why it matters

The exact protocol replaces an incorrect 2,150-meter altitude and shade-drying claim while keeping the 45 farms distinct from Sookoo’s own estate.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists strawberry, blood orange, and wildflower.
