This is taken straight from their e-newsletter:

Coffee breakthrough

First, we’re very proud to announce that we are currently brewing Counter Culture’s single-origin Tekafrom Muramvya, Burundi, at Thunderbird Koenig. What’s so special about this? Plenty. Based out of Durham, North Carolina, Counter Culture is one of the pioneers of direct-trade coffee in the United States, and T-bird is the first shop in Austin to deliver their incredible coffees to you. It’s DELICIOUS and it’s available now in French press and to take home by the bag. There’s plenty more informationHERE. We’re committed to carrying the best coffees from all over the world, traded sustainably and roasted by the only the best. Stay on the lookout for more new coffees!

From what I remember, Counture Culture did not take on any wholesale accounts west of the Mississippi river.  It is possible that this is a limited-time offering.  At any rate, Counter Culture is one of the “Big Three” in the quality niche of the specialty coffee industry, and to my knowledge, Thunderbird is the only shop in the state to be serving it (assuming that they are now a wholesale account).

They are also now serving parfaits.
