From the producer

Yonal Fernandez and his wife, Imelda, produced this organic washed microlot in Colasay. Counter Culture says it began buying Yonal's coffee in late 2019 through Origin Coffee Lab.

From the roaster

Counter Culture Coffee is a Durham-based roaster founded in 1995 that focuses on sustainable, transparently traded, and quality-driven specialty coffee.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Yonal's first named Counter Culture microlot after his coffee had appeared in Fast Forward and La Viuda, centered on the locally distinctive Bourbon de Colasay.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Completed the origin

Added Peru, Cajamarca, Colasay/Jaén, and the exact 1,750 m elevation from the roaster's product page.

Linked the variety

Connected the existing Bourbon de Colasay record rather than creating a duplicate or collapsing it into generic Bourbon.

Corrected producer data

Removed unsupported farm and 1,863 m claims from the producer relationship; the exact product page does not name a farm.

Checked public sentiment

Different-roaster Yonal Fernandez coffees were excluded; no exact Counter Culture release review qualified.

What was added?

Verified producer partnership, origin, elevation, harvest, washed process, Bourbon de Colasay, tasting notes, and availability.

What wasn't added?

No farm was added because Counter Culture does not identify one for this release. No public rating was added without an exact independent source.

Why it matters

The profile now distinguishes an exact release from other Yonal Fernandez lots sold by different roasters.

What you might taste

Raisin sweetness, chocolate depth, and a brown-sugar finish.
