Join Celebrity Chef Maria Liberati as she visits Torrefazione Perugia from Perugia Italy and find out how they are related to Starbucks.
Like its art, wine, and architecture, Italy’s coffee has history, depth, and quality that is not acquired over night. No one does coffee like the Italians, having incited a cultural reformation in how the world brews, orders, and drinks coffee. From the traditional to the complicated multisyllabic orders placed around the world, coffee has revolutionized how the scholastic, the artistic, the aristocratic, and the sarcastic, socialize and convene around the world, in both small towns and large metropolitan cities. And among these many people and places around the world, coffee lovers have recognized the Torrefazione Italia Perugia Blend Whole Bean Coffee as one of the best.
For two generations, Torrefazione blenders have continued to develop its rich yet smooth flavor. Hailing from Perugia, capital of the Umbria region in Italy, Torrefazione is traditional and cultured, artfully crafted by roasting some of the world’s finest coffee beans. Said to be uniquely full-bodied and authentically Italian by way of Torrefazione’s perfectly roasted and blended flavor, some of its biggest fans internationally can’t get enough. Used primarily for espresso drinks or the perfect latte, Torrefazione lovers have had some trouble tracking down this delicious blend in recent years, but find every sip worth the struggle.
This prize-winning coffee blend at both the 2007 and 2008 International Coffee Tasting competition used to be available directly from the Torrefazione Italia Café in Seattle which opened in 1986 after Umberto Bizzarri and Seattle’s Best Coffee founder, Jim Stuart, paired up to bring Italy’s aromatic flavors to the States. But soon thereafter, Starbucks purchased both enterprises in 2003 and closed seventeen Torrefazione cafes in 2005, so worried consumers quickly started ordering Torrefazione from retailers and anywhere they could find it.
Today, American coffee lovers have limited options when it comes to getting your hands on it but online. So if you love Italy and you love coffee, you need not waste another day without tasting the appropriately hyped Torrefazione Italia Perugia Blend Whole Bean Coffee.
