Signature coffees
In October, we held the first Portugal Best Coffee Roaster, a pioneering event in Portugal that celebrated the incredible talent of Portugal's specialty coffee roasters.
This unique competition challenged participants to demonstrate their skill in two main categories:
- Signature Roast, won by Von & Vonniewith his unmistakable style.
- Challenge Roast, a blind challenge, won by Al-gharb Coffee Roasters
After the cupping sessions and an analysis of the consistency in the two rounds, it is a pleasure to announce that the big winner was Senzu Coffee Roasterswinning the Portuguese title Best Coffee Roaster 2024.
A 7g Roaster also received the honorable mention for Fan Favorite.
This event was more than a competition-it was a celebration of the talent, innovation and community that makes specialty coffee so wonderful.
A big thank you to our partners in this championship - BELCO and Sage Appliances.
Here you'll find the coffees presented in the round Signature Roast.
