Andres Burga

This lot by Andres Burga is for us the essence of great coffee; It’s not a unique variety it’s ‘just’ caturra, it’s not a fancy process it’s ‘just’ washed, It’s just a ‘normal’ Peru, but it tastes phenomenal. It’s super balanced, extremely clean and just juicy enough to keep you wanting more. In short it is everything we stand for; a clean, seasonal, incredible coffee.

Andres Burga owns three hectares of land in the Calabozo area of San Jose de Lourdes. Andres' farm is planted with caturra and catuai, which are grown and picked separately. He and his brother, Agustin, manage their farms together and although they carry out most of the farm work and picking themselves, they do hire temporary staff for the peak of the harvest. Once picked Andres ferments his coffee for 24-36 hours before drying for around two weeks on raised beds and lined patios.
