Washed
Processing is the method to turn the fruit from a coffee tree into dried green coffee ready for roasting.
This refers to the elevation at which this coffee was grown.
Year-Round
This refers to the amount of time this coffee will be available for purchase at Counter Culture. Availability is determined by supply and also when the coffee tastes the freshest.
Several years ago, we made the decision to sell coffees when they taste in-season as opposed to stocking a menu with coffees from all origins all year long. Coffee is a produce, after all, and each has a peak season for flavor. In 2011, we released this coffee—a blend we approached like a Community Supported Agriculture box from certified-organic farms in Central and South America. Cup First blends in-season coffees to achieve the ideal Latin American coffee profile: nutty, sweet, and creamy.
