I need to tell you that it is the smoothest, most delicious coffee I've ever had, and with zero bitterness. I will absolutely be repurchasing.

Not only is the coffee fantastic, but the company is also committed to sustainability. I plan to buy their coffee on a regular basis for home brewing! I've tasted their coffee at several coffee shops around the city, and it's always been excellent.

Tried the micro-lot Kamavindi from Embu, Kenya recently and it was fantastic. Probably the best Kenyan coffee I have ever tried. Reasonably priced as well. Fantastic product.

Their focus on earth sustainability, community, planting "seeds", and partnerships, takes the thinking out of it for me b/c they did the research and took the responsibility, so they're a company and product I can support with my "dollar votes".

I enjoyed their free Friday tasting/cupping/tour. When I shared my home roasting interest with the company's founder, Brett Smith, he provided a tour of the roasters and gave me a sample of Perennial Blend green beans. Now I can compare my amateur efforts with the coffee I cupped and bought. It was a fun morning.

Counter Culture Coffee isn't just a business, it's a experience. I joined some friends for their Friday tastings and it was absolutely amazing.
