Sustainable quality blends

The collection of professional blends containing beans from territories and communities involved in sustainability projects.

THE DEDICATION OF THE LAVAZZA FOUNDATION, SERVED IN EVERY CUP

La Reserva de ¡Tierra! is our collection of sustainable quality blends dedicated to professional baristas

Every blend in the La Reserva de ¡Tierra! range contains beans from territories and communities involved in social responsibility projects, promoted and managed by the Lavazza Foundation

La Reserva de ¡Tierra! blends are synonymous with excellence and sustainability: sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified or organic certified farms, carefully selected and gently roasted to bring you a unique sustainable taste experience of coffee origins. 

The Lavazza Foundation promotes and finances international sustainability projects in the countries where coffee is cultivated. 

¡Tierra! is the name of the sustainability projects started by the company in 2002. These projects, which benefit three small communities of coffee growers in Peru, Colombia, and Honduras, are now a part of a larger sustainable project managed by the Lavazza Foundation (directly or in partnership with suppliers, International Organizations, and NGOs) across 17 countries in 3 continents, involving 24 projects and over 97,000 beneficiaries

EXCELLENCE IS IN THE DETAILS

Lavazza has always bought its coffee directly from growers and local coffee traders on the basis of specific selection criteria developed thanks to the technical support of our coffee experts.

La Reserva de ¡Tierra! beans are carefully selected and roasted through a combination of the traditional drum method and air convection. Thanks to our “gentle” roasting, we guarantee a lingering flavor and the preservation of aromas.     

LA RESERVA DE ¡TIERRA! RANGE

Lavazza La Reserva de ¡Tierra! range is a complete offer in terms of taste profile and extraction systems. Aromatic, balanced, and intense coffee blends are available in the Espresso, Filter, and Blue Capsules, to satisfy all tastes and meet all operational needs, for a unique coffee experience every time.
