Does anyone remember history of Counter Culture Hologram?

Does anyone remember the coffee/espresso CCC had that merged into Rustico or now what's called Hologram? It's been probably at least 2 or 3 years now but I can't seem to remember the name. It was considered one of their regular espresso blends but because the profile became so similar to Rustico, th...
