About This Coffee

This single origin coffee comes from the Amederaro Konga washing station in Yirgacheffe coffee region, Gediyo zone, located 6 km from Yirgacheffe town. The washing station sits at 1,999 meters altitude and is surrounded by the Toracho river. Farmers in this region typically cultivate Jarc varieties on small plots of land of less than one hectare around their homes. Coffee is selectively hand-picked and delivered to mill collection points within 5km of producers' homes. The washing station pays above market price for red cherry and provides cash incentives for quality cherries, ensuring higher-than-average overall quality. Producers intercrop coffee with enset, avocados, and papaya as additional food sources.

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.
