This is a community-produced lot. Toldopamba—run by Carlos Torres Burbano and Angela Patiño Findlay—supports participating growers with technical assistance and quality control, but the product page does not identify one sole farmer or farm.
Counter Culture Coffee is a Durham-based specialty roaster founded in 1995 that focuses on direct-trade sourcing and sustainability.
Since 2016, Counter Culture and Toldopamba have worked with Santafé growers on quality and market access, helping a remote community sell differentiated coffee rather than defaulting to minimum-price local trading.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Confirmed Santafé community growers as the producers and kept Toldopamba's technical assistance and quality-control role separate.
Recorded Caturra, Castillo and Colombia as separate components without inventing percentages or individual farm assignments.
Recorded the historical $26/12 oz retail listing separately from Counter Culture's $5/lb FOB green-coffee payment.
Rejected older Santafé reviews that predate the May–July 2025 harvest or describe a different flavor profile.
Structured cultivar components, verified $26/340 g retail price, refreshed sold-out state, and release-specific sentiment exclusions.
No single farm, undisclosed growers, cultivar percentages, midpoint altitude, invented process details, house score, or numeric public sentiment rating.
The page credits the producing community accurately while preventing Toldopamba's support role or older seasonal reviews from being misrepresented as this lot's provenance or sentiment.
Counter Culture lists black cherry, cocoa and a syrupy body.

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 2026-11-11) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Coffee List reports zero ratings. CoffeeRoast's 4.5/5 review is three years old and describes cherry, vanilla and juicy notes, so it predates and does not match the 2025 black-cherry/cocoa/syrupy release. A Coffee Review score published before the May–July 2025 harvest was also excluded. No numeric sentiment score was created.
