When was the
last time you had a cup of Philippine coffee?
As one of
the top producers of coffee a long time ago, the Philippines has always had a
rich and fascinating history with the famous brew. Although we’ve long since lost our status as
one of the world’s go-to countries for coffee due to the disease that nearly
wiped out all our crops, there are still several proudly Filipino brands that
aim to showcase the best of Philippine coffee.
 |
With this in mind, homegrown brand Bo’s Coffee is inviting everyone to try out their Single Origin Arabica beans. Sourced from Benguet, Sagada, Mt. Matutum, and Mt. Kitanglad and roasted to perfection by artisan roasters, these coffee beans also reflect the vision of a brand that dreams of putting Philippine coffee back on the map. |
“The
Philippine Origins product line is a celebration of the country’s culture and
its great coffee,” Bo’s Coffee President and founder Steve Benitez said. “All
of our beans underwent a rigorous cupping process in order to make sure that our
customers will get only the best from us.”
What’s
fascinating about these Single Origin Arabica beans is that it enables coffee
lovers to get to know the featured places in a different way through its flavor
profile.
Sagada, for
example, has a sweet, nutty, and well balanced taste, with hints of chocolate
and fresh tobacco.
Benguet, which is near Sagada, is also well balanced, with
herbal notes. Mt. Matutum, which is located in Mindanao, features a berry-like
and spicy taste, and Mt. Kitanglad, which is also in Mindanao, is perfect for coffee
drinkers who are looking for something light and nutty, with a hint of floral
undertones.
These Single
Origin coffee beans are available at the following Bo’s Coffee branches: Bonifacio
High Street, Glorietta 5, SM Mall of Asia, Newport, Galleria, SM North EDSA,
NAIA1, Jupiter Makati, Solenad, and Megamall.
Aside from Philippine
Origins, the brand is also looking to heighten its customers’ experience by
providing a Pour Over demo in select branches. The Pour Over Method requires a
steady hand, a brew bar, a V60 cone, a swan kettle, a weighing scale, and
precise water and temperature measurements in order to produce a flavorful cup
of coffee, and it is certainly a delight to watch.
“A lot of
changes are happening very soon for Bo’s Coffee,” Benitez explained. “Although
our Philippine Origins product line and demo are both only available in certain
stores in Manila, we’re planning to make a lot of changes in order to further
improve everyone’s in-store experience.”
Bo’s Coffee is a proudly homegrown specialty
coffee brand, and since 1996, it has grown to include around 56 outlets
strategically located in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod,
Iloilo, Bohol and Tacloban. For more information, visit www.boscoffee.com
