Coffee trip in the Philippines! ☕️🇵🇭
I want to serve the best coffee I can. You can learn so much from experience and working as a barista, but understanding the journey from bean to cup is a whole different story.
Getting to see and experience that process firsthand in the Philippines has taught me so much, from where the coffee is grown to how it’s processed, roasted, and eventually brewed.
The Philippines is one of the few countries where all four coffee types are grown: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa. I was incredibly lucky to experience a cupping of all four and taste the differences side by side.
It’s an experience not everyone gets to have, and I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to learn, ask questions, get my hands dirty, and see the work that goes into every cup.
This trip reminded me that there’s so much more to coffee than what’s in the cup. I can’t wait to bring everything I’ve learned back home to Arizona. 🌵
No viral music, just simple edits, raw footage, and a little glimpse of my coffee journey.
