Terrae Organic 100% Arabica Coffee

From Organic Farming to Eco-Roasting — Gold Medal at the International Coffee Tasting

Peru, Brazil and Mexico in a single blend: a broad and elegant bouquet, with notes of cocoa and citrus fruits

Morettino's Terrae

Terrae is a selection of pure organic Arabica beans, assembled into an elegant and aromatic blend in which the spicy notes typical of Mexican Berilo meet the refined floral notes of Peruvian Chanchamayo, with accents of honey and toasted almonds. Three origins, three altitudes, three different interpretations of the same botanical species: the result is a broad and elegant bouquet and a harmonious flavor, with hints of cocoa and citrus notes. All crafted with the signature medium organic roasting method of the Palermo-based roaster, it was recognized with the Gold Medal at the International Coffee Tasting—one of the most rigorous competitions in the industry.
 
 
 

The roots of this coffee lie in the art of blending

Assembling a blend is a craft that's more like musical composition than chemistry: no single origin possesses everything—some bring body, some acidity, some floral aromas, some sweet structure—and the master roaster's task is to make them play together without any one overpowering the others. Terrae's three voices tell the story of specific geographies: Chanchamayo is a valley in the central Peruvian Andes, where coffee grows in the shade at high altitudes and develops fine acidity and floral aromas; Brazilian Santos—named after the port of embarkation, not the region—has been the sweet, mellow backbone of countless Italian blends for over a century; Mexican Berilo provides the spicy note that gives character to the whole. All are hand-picked, bean by bean, using the traditional technique.hand picking: only perfectly ripe drupes, in successive passages on the same plant.

How to Best Use: Terrae Ground Coffee

• IN MOKA, FOR HOME ESPRESSO: fill the filter without pressing, use low-mineralization water and remove from the heat as soon as it starts to rise, so as not to burn the aromas. Accompany it with a Traditional Almond Cantuccino, which recalls notes of toasted almonds.
• IN THE SLOW SUNDAY BREAKFAST: its notes of cocoa and citrus fruits dialogue beautifully with a Traditional Organic Panettone or with a slice of bread with Organic Hazelnut Cream with Milk.
• AT THE END OF THE MEAL, IN COMBINATION WITH CHOCOLATE: serve it with a square of Dark Chocolate 60% or with Cocoa, Hazelnut and Pistachio Cantucci: cocoa in the cup meets cocoa on the plate.

The Producer: Morettino

Morettino has been roasting coffee in Palermo since 1920, for four generations, using a slow artisanal method and zero-impact, organic roasting. The raw materials are selected directly on the plantation, in collaboration with small producers and with respect for local communities: complete control of the supply chain, from bean to cup.
 
 
 

Food container

Ground coffee is delicate: store the package tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from light and strong-smelling foods, which are easily absorbed by the ground coffee. Avoid the refrigerator, where humidity and odors compromise the aroma. Once opened, consume the product within a few weeks to fully enjoy its bouquet.
