About This Coffee

This coffee originates from the Antigua region of Guatemala, specifically from the Acatenango area. The region is dominated by the Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego volcanoes, all above 3,000 meters high. Rich volcanic soil, low humidity, lots of sun, and cool nights characterize these coffees. The Fuego volcano periodically adds mineral-rich ash to the soil, and volcanic pumice helps retain moisture. The coffee is grown by a cooperative of producers in the municipality of Suchitepequez. Varieties include Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuai, processed using a fermented method. Flavor notes include vanilla, caramel, and cocoa. The coffee has an SCA score of 85.

Buraca Roasters

Buraca Roasters brings over thirty years of roasting experience and three generations of relationships with individual coffee farmers to its operation in Lisbon, a depth of history that began in commercial coffee before the team made a deliberate transition into specialty roasting that now defines everything the company produces. The roastery operates daily, profiling each coffee to maximize its unique qualities and delivering it fresh, with a sourcing network built on long term partnerships with producers who are committed to sustainable agricultural practices and fair labor rights. Buraca sources from origins as diverse as the volcanic soils of Guatemala and the mountain farms of Ethiopia, and roasts to extract the natural flavors of every bean so that customers can taste the genuine difference between regions, altitudes, and processing methods rather than a uniform house style. Every coffee carries complete traceability so customers can find out exactly where, how, and by whom their beans were produced, and the roastery ships throughout Portugal and Europe with a money back guarantee that reflects genuine confidence in the product. Buraca Roasters occupies a distinctive position in Portugal's specialty landscape as a family operation whose generational knowledge of coffee sourcing predates the specialty movement itself, giving it a network of farmer relationships that newer roasteries cannot easily replicate.
