    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.

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

Catching Up with our Seeds Program, Week 5

Our coffee buyer's agent, Hannah, posted another weekly update about our Seeds – Sustaining Environmental and Educational Development at Source – program, which was 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. This project in this week's update was slightly different, as it involved Hannah as a contracted consultant at the time helping to formalize a study and lead and analyze the research on the social impact of microlots.
 
Learn more about the programs in Seeds portion of our Sustainability coverage, including this week's Seeds update.
 
Thanks,
Nathan

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.
