From the producer

Urcunina is the collective coffee identity used by ASPROCAES members around La Florida in Nariño; it is a producer-group lot rather than a single farm.

From the roaster

Counter Culture is a specialty roaster focused on transparency and long-term partnerships with farmers, roasting their selections in facilities in North Carolina and California.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This was ASPROCAES’s first documented small-scale fermentation trial in its Counter Culture partnership: a carefully cooled, low-oxygen 36-hour fermentation designed to extend development without over-fermented flavors.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Group lot assembly

The 2023 Urcunina lot combines Caturra, Castillo, and Colombia from ASPROCAES members.

02
Cool low-oxygen fermentation

The coffee fermented for 36 hours, nearly triple the group’s normal duration, under cool oxygen-restricted conditions.

03
Undisclosed drying

The exact product page does not publish the drying surface, method, or duration.

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 duration and environmental controls distinguish this lot from vague extended-fermentation marketing while leaving the undisclosed drying stage blank.

What you might taste

Counter Culture lists stone fruit, green apple, and a crisp finish.

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.
