A marketplace for the world’s most exceptional harvests, offered by exclusive farms growing small unique lots in the rarest origins.
Four regions inside the coffee belt, between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Every mark on the map is a farm Terroir represents this harvest.
Terroir is an auction house dedicated to rare specialty coffee grown in small lots. We work with a select group of farms whose entire harvest fits into a few dozen bags.
Every lot is assessed and documented according to its origin, type and quality grade, meeting Specialty Coffee Association requirements. Terroir advises on and manages the full route, from the farm through to the port, and offers the lot in a live auction open to verified parties. The farm sets the reserve, the market sets the final price, and every result is published. We work with the best producers, offering a reliable, traceable and transparent marketplace.
The winning bid takes every bag, with full traceability from the plot to your warehouse.
Every Terroir result is public. What the producer earned and what the buyer paid is never a secret here.

If your coffee is small in volume, exceptional on the cupping table and traceable at origin, it deserves buyers who compete for it, not middlemen who treat it as a commodity. Application is free and curation is strict.
Apply NowCuration happens on the cupping table, not by reputation. We assess harvests, not farms: every lot must stand on its own score.
You send your farm profile and a lot sample. Our cupping table verifies and scores it blind. No cost to the producer.
Once approved, we build the lot page together: farm photographs, processing data, altitude and moisture. You set the reserve price. Below it, the lot does not sell.
Your lot goes live one week before bidding opens and then stays ten days in an auction open to verified buyers. You follow every bid in real time, from your phone or computer.
Funds are held in escrow and released on shipment confirmation. You are paid within 5 to 7 business days. Terroir charges commission only on a completed sale.
We review every application within 5 business days. If your coffee has no sensory score yet, that is fine, we arrange the cupping. Applying commits you to nothing.
Six steps connecting a small farm to a buyer on the other side of the world, with price set in daylight.
Two phases, six steps and who leads each one.
Drag sideways to see the whole flow
We seek out small farms with sensory potential through partner referrals, cooperatives, regional competitions and field visits. Most extraordinary coffee belongs to people who have never exported on their own, and we work to bring those producers to the market.
Every sample is verified, cupped and scored by us before it enters the platform. We run quality due diligence to international standards to guarantee the integrity of the origin.
We document plot, altitude, variety, process, drying, moisture and water activity, photograph the farm and write the lot’s story in three languages. Samples ship free of charge to every verified buyer who asks for them.
The producer sets the reserve; the market sets the rest. The lot goes live one week before bidding opens and takes bids for ten days, with automatic extension if a bid lands in the closing minutes. Every result is published.
Payment sits in escrow and is released only on shipment confirmation, which protects both sides. We coordinate export documentation, phytosanitary certificates and shared containers when volume is small.
To the producer we bring the buyers’ technical feedback: what pleased, what capped the score, what to adjust next season. To the buyer, price history by origin and early notice of harvests matching what they have bought before.
The farms Terroir represents this harvest. Every lot in auction comes from one of these people.
Every exceptional coffee begins at a precise point on the map: an altitude, a soil, a pattern of rain and cold that repeats nowhere else. These are the four origins Terroir represents this harvest.
Terroir is an auction house dedicated to rare specialty coffee grown in small lots. We work with a select group of farms whose entire harvest fits into a few dozen bags.
Every lot is assessed and documented according to its origin, type and quality grade, meeting Specialty Coffee Association requirements. Terroir advises on and manages the full route, from the farm through to the port, and offers the lot in a live auction open to verified parties. The farm sets the reserve, the market sets the final price, and every result is published. We work with the best producers, offering a reliable, traceable and transparent marketplace.
Every lot states how many bags the farm harvests per year and how many are on auction. When they are gone, it is the next harvest or nothing.
Plot, altitude, process, moisture and the signature of our cupping table. You know exactly what you are buying and where it came from.
Open auction among verified buyers. Every result is published, without exception.
Where exceptional coffee happens, why it happens there, and who makes it possible.
