Yes, HQ is in that warehouse-lookin’ building with the large tower. Yes, the Friday tasting was well-attended, well-organized, and a great experience for anyone who enjoys coffee; approachable for all, engaging for snobs like me, too. Thanks, Counter Culture, for hosting your weekly, free sessions!
Glad to see my hometown coffee for sale in Alexandria VA. While visiting Ruthie's All Day, a diner near DC.
Went to a tasting on 10/17 and had an absolutely wonderful and emotionally moving experience tasting Muriama estate! Jaimie’s presentation was excellent and the coffee tasted and felt just the same :)

The tasting experiences have been praised for their quality, with some highlighting emotional and moving moments, especially when tasting special coffees like Muriama estate. However, some past tastings focused more on education about the roasting process and brewing methods, which some visitors wish would return.
