Barako
Also known as Liberica, the Barako coffee bean is the quintessential "Pinoy" coffee that gives a strong punch that’s perfect for gathering energy in the morning. Cultivated in Batangas, it has spicy undertones with hints of smokey and chocolatey taste.
Barako coffee can be brewed using a drip method, a French press, or simply by pouring hot water over the grinds and filtering the mixture with a piece of cloth. In preparing Barako coffee, it’s best to add muscovado sugar to have a tinge of sweetness while still tasting a solid kick to start your day.
Robusta
As the second most popular coffee bean in the world, robusta beans account for 40% of the coffee production in the world. The intense flavor and bitterness of Robusta coffee beans are why they are primarily used to produce instant coffee and espresso blends.
This coffee bean grows primarily in Kalinga and Ilocos Sur, as well as in the lowlands. Because Robusta beans have a grainy texture, they’re more suited for espresso brewing. Try our Kalinga Cordillera Wet Washed Dark Roast Robusta to experience the robust flavors of this earthy coffee bean!
