What if every time you bought a bag of coffee—an act you rarely think twice about—you were improving the lives of people you’ve never met, and, in turn, helping sustain the ethical production of that coffee you love? Every time you shop Counter Culture, that’s exactly what you do. All year long, one penny from every pound of coffee we sell goes to our Seeds fund, a grant program that supports grassroots projects proposed by our producers around the globe. In turn, we get to tell you success stories like that of the Orgánica cooperative in Timbío, Colombia, whose lands produce our La Golondrina single-origin coffee. In 2005, the cooperative was founded with the goal of obtaining organic certification. True to this spirit, they applied for a Seeds grant in 2020 to build a "biofabrica" of liquid organic fertilizers. Seeds grows more than just coffee. To ensure the future of more stories like this, each winter we boost our Seeds contribution through the sale of our rich, sweet Iridescent blend. For each pound of Iridescent we sell, a dollar is dedicated to Seeds. It really is the gift that keeps on giving. Shop Iridescent and learn more about our Seeds program at the link in our bio.
