About the coffees
Apollo:
Ethiopia is the birthplace of arabica coffee, so it's no wonder the country produces some of the best in the world. We had a radical idea when we introduced Apollo in 2010—creating a blend that wasn't focused on tasting the same every single time, but showcased the best coffees of the season. As time went on, we made a conscious decision to uses 100% certified organic, washed Ethiopian coffees for Apollo. We work with smallscale farms to ethically source these exceptional coffee beans and craft a blend that embodies the birthplace of coffee with every single pour. Each sip of Apollo embodies a time-honored tradition that spans generations.
Kushikamana:
Kushikamana blossomed from a partnership between Counter Culture and small-estate farmers near Mt. Kenya. The vision was to establish a more direct and transparent purchase model than Kenya’s typical export routes allow. These autonomous growers named the alliance Kushikamana, Swahili for "connected.” This selection embodies the iconic Kenyan coffee profile, delivering citrus, raisin, and savory notes.
