    Save Our Soil

    Our soils are in crisis. Conventional, chemical-based farming is destroying soil health, leaving farms with increasingly barren earth.

    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.

Catching Up with our Seeds Program, Week 4

12-6-12
 
Representatives from Honduras's COMSA, Guatemala's Concepción Huista, and Nicaragua's Cinco de Junio.
Over the last month, our coffee buyer's agent, Hannah, has been posting weekly updates about our Seeds – Sustaining Environmental and Educational Development at Source – program created to structure and define Counter Culture's monetary contributions to projects that are not coffee-quality-specific but still benefit our coffee-producing partners and their communities. To date, we have contributed a total of $24,963 to projects in 6 countries. This week, Hannah posted an updated about our fourth project, a Professional Series in Honduras with multiple growers and associations from Central America.
 
Learn more about the programs in Seeds portion of our Sustainability coverage, including this week's update.
 
Thanks

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.
