The roastery
One warehouse, one drum, one stubborn rule
Torra was born in 2019 in a former sugar warehouse in Marvila. We started with a second-hand 1 kg roaster and one rule: never sell coffee more than three weeks past roast.
The drum is 15 kg now, but the rule stands. We buy green directly from seven producers — Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Brazil — paying on average 2.4× the market C price.
Every lot is blind-cupped by three people before it reaches the shelf. What fails, never ships. We have scrapped entire roasts; it hurts less than selling bad coffee.
