A Full Circle Moment for The Project Beans - Coffee
Sometimes, life really comes full circle—and yesterday here at SM Megamall, we felt the weight of that moment.
About 8 years ago, Project Beans Coffee was just starting out—a small dream fueled by a big passion for local coffee. It was during a DTI Trade Fair at SM where we had the incredible opportunity to meet and present our product to Ms. Teresita Sy-Coson of SM Supermalls.
That one moment opened doors for us to be part of SM's Kultura—and from there, everything changed.
Fast forward to today, we find ourselves back at the same DTI Trade Fair in SM Megamall. But this time, it feels different. Being interviewed again by SM, we were reminded of how far we’ve come—and how it all started here.
Today, we are not just here to showcase our products—we are here to also say thank you.
Because of the platform that SM provided, Project Beans Coffee grew from a small local start-up into a brand now enjoyed not just across the Philippines, but even globally. 🌍
To SM Supermalls, and especially to Ms. Tessie Cozon---thank you for believing in MSMEs like us. You didn’t just give us space—you gave us a chance, and that made all the difference.
From 2017 to today—what a journey it has been.
We hope more MSMEs will experience the same support, opportunity, and growth that SM has given us.
Maraming salamat po, from the bottom of our hearts. 💙
Sharing some screenshots of our conversation with the SM exec who interviewed me. She was kind enough to personally pass on my message to Ms. Tessie Coson.
