Our History
An old dream
The history of Fazenda Terracini goes back generations, being a legacy of family tradition and passion for coffee. From the time of Pierre Pereira's grandfather, current owner of the farm, to current times, coffee culture is deeply rooted in the foundations of this farm. In which he and his sons bring to life the solid plans coming from three previous generations and begin an old but not lost dream: the export of Café Terracini.
“From my grandfather’s time, through my father, coffee culture has always been present in our lives”.
Pierre tells us, when remembering his childhood, that it is impossible to forget the harvests, the enveloping aroma of coffee and the games among the stored sacks. These powerful memories left a lasting impression and strengthened the bond with agriculture and livestock, awakening a burning desire to continue the coffee growing tradition.
Now, in the fourth generation of coffee farmers, the family decided to follow a specialized path, dedicating themselves to the cultivation of specialty coffees. Thus, Brand Terracini Coffee was born, a brand based on Fazenda Terracini and its values.
Terracini Farm is more than a cultivation site; It is a symbol of dedication to the land, to coffee and to the dream of producing special coffees that delight demanding palates. And, their coffees are not just a culture, but a passion that overflows in each cup. Thus, each cup of Terracini coffee tells the story of a family united by their love of coffee and their unwavering commitment to quality.
We invite you to be part of this story by tasting and enjoying Terracini coffees, which are the result of a family journey of love for coffee and the commitment to providing a unique and memorable experience for all those who love this coffee bean!
