Why some details are blank
  • individual farms and contributorsThe release is documented as coffee from 438 ASPROCAES families; the exact contributing farms or farmers are not named.
  • exact scalar elevationThe source publishes a 1,800–1,950 m range, so the range is preserved in text rather than converted to an invented point value.
  • cultivar proportionsCaturra, Castillo, and Colombia are verified, but the proportion of each cultivar is not published.
  • fermentation and drying protocolThe release is identified as washed, but fermentation time, washing sequence, drying surface, and drying duration are not disclosed.
  • consumer price and currencyThe archive publishes a green-coffee FOB price, not the retail bag price or consumer currency configuration.
  • public sentiment ratingNo qualifying independent exact-release tasting or numeric score was found.

From the producer

ASPROCAES is an association of 438 coffee-growing families near La Florida. Urcunina is its collective brand, not the name of a single farm.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a specialty roaster that emphasizes long-term partnerships with producers and transparency in their supply chain.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Counter Culture has partnered with ASPROCAES since 2012. The name Urcunina is the Quillasinga name for Galeras volcano and is translated by the roaster as fire mountain.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Built the missing editorial profile

Added four source-backed sections covering the collective lot, association history, washed-process limits, price transparency, taste, and public evidence.

02
Connected the mixed-variety record

Linked the existing Field Blend record because the exact lot contains Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia; no new variety or farm was created.

03
Preserved the collective boundary

Kept ASPROCAES as the producer association and did not invent individual farms or contributors.

04
Protected score integrity

No qualifying independent exact-release tasting was found, so public sentiment remains unrated.

What was added?

Editorial narrative, unknown-field explanations, the existing Field Blend relationship, and the verified $4.28/lb FOB sourcing price in context.

What wasn't added?

No individual farm, contributing farmer list, cultivar proportions, detailed fermentation or drying protocol, retail price, or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now explains the collective supply chain and price evidence without turning association-level facts into false farm-level precision.

What you might taste

Dried fruit, caramel, and chocolate, based on Counter Culture’s tasting notes.

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 2026-10-11) 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

Fresh exact-name searches found Counter Culture’s archive and differently processed Urcunina releases, but no independent tasting that could be matched to this washed 2023 lot. No public sentiment rating was calculated.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
