Setting the Standard for Quality

In the global coffee industry, only a small percentage of beans earn the title “Specialty Coffee.” This distinction is not marketing — it is the result of rigorous standards, professional evaluation, and a commitment to excellence at every stage of production.

Specialty Coffee

What Is Specialty Coffee?


According to the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), coffee is considered specialty when it:

● Scores 80 points or higher on a 100-point quality scale evaluated by certified Q-graders.

● Is free of primary defects and carefully sorted to preserve integrity.

● Demonstrates a distinctive flavor profile, shaped by its origin and processing.

● Offers full traceability, ensuring consumers know exactly where it was grown.

In other words, specialty coffee represents the best of the best — a product defined by quality, authenticity, and transparency.

Terracini Coffee: Specialty at the Source

At Terracini Coffee, every bean comes from our own farm in Cerrado Mineiro, Minas Gerais, Brazil — a region internationally recognized for producing consistent, high-quality coffees.

Our approach ensures that every lot we produce meets the highest specialty standards:
