HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE WORD TERROIR IN COFFEE?

-

This word encompasses everything that surrounds the place where coffee is grown, not only the soil and climate but the entire environment, including the people and local knowledge, that is to say, all the characteristics of the composition of the soil, its temperature and average annual rainfall; the latitude and longitude of its geographical location, its micro, macro and mesoclimate; in addition to the cultural procedures applied to coffee agriculture in that area.

Knowledge of the terroir is important as the conditions where the grain is produced will completely affect the quality and complexity of the final beverage. 


The important thing to know is that there is no such thing as a bad or good terroir, but it is true that in the search for the best quality and productivity on a coffee farm not all terroirs are suitable for all species and varieties of coffee.

If you would like to enter the world of specialty coffee and learn about the entire production process, we invite you to enroll in our SCA Barista Basic course. Here we will teach you not only about coffee production but also about the relevant parameters and the correct technique for preparing espressos.
