Deeply sweet, I taste almond, date and vanilla. The acid is very mild, making for an incredibly satisfying and rich cup.

This coffee comes to us by way of Kalsada Coffee -- an organization championing Philippine specialty coffee. The Philippines have a deep coffee history dating back centuries but have largely been overlooked as a source for specialty coffee. That's rapidly changing and for good reason; the coffees coming from Sitio Belis are stellar, dynamic and unique.

Kalsada's coffee is consumed domestically where there is a strong and growing specialty market. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have been able to buy some of their limited exports. We have this mixed variety lot as well as one more Garnica variety separation from the same community that we'll be listing very soon.

Harvested late 2018. 1,400 - 1,700 MASL. Red Bourbon, Typica, San Ramon. Washed.
