Went to Kapecon 2026 tonight located along Paseo de Roxas Avenue, Makati (beside Ayala Triangle Garden). Lots of booths selling coffee beans from different local roasters, coffee equipments, espresso based drinks and foods.

Saw 1 local roaster selling what most in the third wave coffee world considers "the ch*****ne of coffee beans" which is the Arabica variety called Gesha. Known for its intense floral tea-like aroma, complex flavor profile and record breaking price/kg in coffee auctions. But, this is not just any other Gesha that I saw, it is the first ever Gesha succesfully grown in the Philippines by the Taiwanese coffee farmer Acuii Sicayang at the foothills of Mount Apo in Bansalan, Davao 1700 meters above sea level who faced 8 years of zero income, typhoons and heavy reliance on his savings before yielding a successful commercial harvest. Gesha is considered one of the most difficult coffee varieties to grow in the world. Ang bango at ang sarap niya!

Aside from that, I also saw some booths selling the usual floral and fruity lightly roasted Colombian and Ethiopian beans which tastes almost like fruit teas and some imported beans from South America and Africa. Some booths sell creative espresso based drinks such as this Americano topped with whipped heavy cream sprinkled with "asin tibuok" by Cether Coffee that I have tried. I also badly wanted to try the Ube Latik latte, Saba Con Hielo cold brew and the Patis Latte pero baka mag palpitate at hindi na ako makatulog haha.

Lots of local coffee beans too from our top coffee producing provinces from Mindanao such as fine robusta from Sultan Kudarat and specialty Arabicas from Mt. Apo Davao and Bukidnon. I also some Robustas from Ilocos and Libericas from Mindoro. Even the dried flesh, fruit or pulp of the coffee cherries turned into tea called Cascara are being sold here.

They also have lots of free tastes. So if you wanna expand your knowledge about coffee and discover what good coffee is, go here! They're open only until today (Sunday October 11, 2026) 8:00PM.

Authentic Lipa Liberica from Samahan ng Magkakape ng Lipa. Yan yung original na Kapeng Barako from the 1800's before naglabasan yung ibang Kapeng Barako na gawa sa mas common and mas economical at mas madaling alagaan at i-harvest na coffee beans like Robusta or Arabica then roasted really dark na nakikita mo na binibenta sa palengke, groceries or Shopee. Ito, totoong Liberica beans dahil kita mo sa size niya mas malaki siya compared sa ibang Arabica beans, assymetrical siya patulis yung isang end niya unlike sa Arabica na even oval shape at sa Robusta na even din at medyo rounded naman. Medium roasted lang din to kaya lasa mo talaga yung natural na flavor ng Liberica beans. Hindi siya sobrang tustado or dark roasted tulad ng nakikita natin Kapeng Barako sa market na Robusta or Excelsa. Hindi siya lasang sunog or mapait or uling. Itong Liberica lasa at amoy siyang langka! May pagka floral and fruity at mas smooth ang acidity compared sa Arabica. Manamis namis din siya. Tapos yung caffeine hit niya chill lang di gaano nakaka palpitate or nakakanerbyos haha, mas mababa kasi ang caffeine content nito, half lang daw ng Arabica at 1/4 ng Robusta. Parang mas mababa pa nga ata dahil sobrang mellow lang ng feeling ko after ko siya inumin. Pwedeng pwede sa mga tao na sensitive sa caffeine.

Rare ang Liberica coffee beans kasi it only makes up 1 to 2% ng total coffee supply locally and globally dahil ang puno kasi ng Liberica mas malaki at mas mataas kaya mas malaking tipak ng lupa ang kailangan nito para tumubo compared sa Arabica at Robusta kaya mas magastos at mas labor intensive yung pagpitas at pag harvest ng cherries niya, ginagamitan pa yan ng matataas na hagdanan para pitasin kaya medyo delekado! Tapos mas makapal, mas matigas at mas matamis din yung flesh ng cherries niya kaya mas maselan din yung fermentation process niya at yung depulping mas labor intensive, kailangan tama ang proseso ng fermentation kung hindi masisira ang lasa. Tapos mas kunti ang napoproduce na cherries ng puno niya kumpara sa Robusta at Arabica. Mas maliit din ang yield ng beans niya dahil sa mas mabigat ang flesh niya compared sa beans niya. Kung kaya't baka yung ibang coffee farmers mas pinili na magtanim na lang ng Arabica or Robusta dahil maaari na mas profitable yun. Kaya itong pure na Liberica, kunting farmers na lang ang nagtatanim na. Kaya masasabi natin na unique/ rare siya na coffee bean dahil bihira mo siya makita na binibenta lalo sa ibang bansa at kung gusto mo talaga matikman yung original at historically accurate na Kapeng Barako from Batangas from the 1800's ito yun! Yung mga nakikita natin na Kapeng Barako sa market na roasted really dark ay mostly Robusta or Excelsa or blend ng Liberica at Excelsa. Bihira ka makakakita or mahirap makakita ng ganito na pure na Liberica beans sa market.

Kinumpara ko rin ang amoy at size niya sa 3 kong paborito na Arabica coffee beans na Colombia Supremo (fruity-floral, chocolatey, bright acidity), Brazil Santos (nutty, chocolatey, low acidity) at Ethiopia Yirgacheffe (berry, bright acidity) para maganda sa picture haha. So kita niyo naman yung difference niya sa shape diba. Mas malaki siya compared sa Brazil Santos at Colombia Supremo at yung Yirgacheffe ang pinakamaliit. Assymetrical din siya, may patulis or hook sa isang side itong Liberica. Yung kulay naman sa roasting lang yan, yung Supremo na nabili ko kasi medium-dark roasted siya kaya siya ang pinaka maitim. Yung Brazil Santos, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe at itong Lipa Liberica ay medium roasted kaya ganyan ang kulay light brown lang.

Hindi ko igi-gate keep ito. Okay lang kahit maubusan ako haha. Nabili ko ito from Sir Arnold BM from Samahan ng Magkakape ng Lipa. Message him kung gusto niyo bumili. Arnold BM ang name nya sa Facebook. Let's support our local coffee farmers, the Philippine coffee farming industry and especially itong Liberica coffee bean farmers and producers na nagpepreserve nitong Liberica coffee heritage natin dahil kaunting farmers na lang ang nagtatanim nito at dahil parte ito ng ating Filipino identity, heritage at culinary history.Alam niyo ba nung nagkaroon ng coffee rust disease sa mga plantations sa mga coffee producing countries sa mundo noon like Brazil, ang Pilipinas ay naging 4th largest coffee producer noong 1880 at ang Pilipinas ay ang naging major source ng coffee beans noong 1887 to 1889 sa buong mundo at ang Lipa ay ang naging pinakamayaman na municipality sa buong Pilipinas sa panahon na iyon. Also before that, itong Kapeng Barako (Liberica) commands 5 times the price of other Asian coffee beans like from Indonesia or Java beans.

Kaya if you want to taste the original Kapeng Barako from that era, yung LEGIT NA 100% LIBERICA BEANS, HINDI ROBUSTA OR EXCELSA, this is it pancit! May mga makikita ka rin na 100% Liberica sa iba siguro, pero for this bag from Samahan ng Magkakape ng Lipa I can vouch for this, legit talaga, hindi siya katulad nung ibang Kapeng Barako na natry ko before and ibang iba talaga ang lasa niya, may something special and distinct talaga sa kanya (yung natural langka taste and aroma niya) which makes it stand out and remarkable like Brazil Santos for its nutty taste, Colombia Supremo for its floral taste, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe for its berry taste or Gesha for its Jasmine tea, floral and bergamot taste. Definitely one of my most favorite coffee beans na!
