Syra Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from the San Ignacio province in northern Peru, cultivated by small producers from the communities of San Francisco, Los Llanos, San Andrés, and El Sauce. Grown on mountainous slopes at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above sea level, the temperate climate and fertile soils create ideal conditions for balanced coffees. The lot is composed of Catuai, Caturra, and Bourbon varieties, processed using the washed method, achieving a cupping score of 84.5. The coffee offers a complex and balanced profile with notes of chocolate, grapefruit, apricot, and almond cream, medium body, and medium-high acidity. Manual cherry harvesting is conducted at optimal ripeness, followed by flotation and manual selection. The coffee undergoes fermentation for 20-30 hours in tanks, then the parchment is carefully washed and shade-dried. The omni roast makes it versatile for both espresso and filter brewing methods.

Syra Coffee

What started in October 2015 as a small specialty space with the goal of popularizing good coffee has expanded into a multi city operation with outposts in Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, and Valencia. Syra roasts at its Barcelona headquarters and ships to all spaces, working directly with small farms around the world who send their harvest at the end of each season. Every coffee is single origin, rated 80 points or above, and sourced from producers who tend their land with integrity and contribute positively to their communities. The guiding principle is less is more: a singular, calm experience shared with as many people as possible. Syra also offers cupping sessions, workshops, and a monthly subscription delivering freshly roasted coffee from the Barcelona roastery. The operation has built a following of over 60,000 on Instagram and become one of Spain's most visible specialty coffee brands.
