    The quality of craftsmanship from Recinos family's Finca Nueva Armenia – in Guatemala's Huehuetenango district – is evident in every cup clean, clear notes of green apple, grape, and almond above a crisp acidity and juicy body.

From the Road: Salaam from Sumatra

2-9-10

Gayo country is a long way away. It takes more than 40 hours of travel to reach the highlands surrounding Lake Tawar where the Jagong mill turns out some of the best Sumatran coffee available. Photo by Peter Giuliano. Counter Culture's Director of Coffee and co-owner Peter Giuliano filed a trip report this weekend from Jagong, Sumatra, where he visited our partners, the Gayo Organic Coffee Cooperative, and their leader and exporter, Mr. Irham. In his report, Peter outlines the progression of Counter Culture's relationship with the co-op, changes within the Gayo infrastructure, and recent harvest initiatives by contributing farmers.

Read Peter's full trip report in our ORIGINS section.

Thanks,
Nathan

Finca El Puente
Finca El Puente
Catuai
Counter Culture Direct Trade Certified
Finca El Puente is a special coffee and truly close to our hearts. We discovered it on our very first trip to Honduras, fell in love with it then, and have been head over heels ever since. Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero – the couple who run the farm – have become like family, and this year they continued the tradition of refining an already-great coffee. This harvest of Finca El Puente brings lighter purple-lavender and plum notes, black cherry, sugar cane sweetness, and toasted nut in the finish. View map.

Regularly $15.75

$14.75 (per 12 oz bag)
