About This Coffee

Many believe that coffee was first introduced to Guatemala by the Jesuits around 1750, though there are accounts of it being grown and served in the country in 1747. As in El Salvador, coffee only became an importante crop in Guatemala after 1856, when the invention of chemical dyes reduced demand for indigo, which was at that time the main csh crop. A wide range of flavours are present in Guatemala’s coffees, from lighter, very sweet, fruity and complex coffees through to the heavier, richer and more chocolatey cups.

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.
