We know the farmers
Every green bean we roast is bought directly from growers in three Philippine highlands. No consolidators in between.

Three roads that end at our door
Beans travel from the farm straight to Malasiqui. One trip, then a roast a few meters from where you sit.
Shorter routes mean fresher coffee and far less transport and packaging than the usual hops through traders and warehouses.
Where the beans grow
Each origin roasts differently, so we profile every lot on its own.

Who we cut out
A typical bag of Philippine coffee passes through several hands. Ours skips the middle of the chain, so the premium goes to the farmer.
