The #3 lot from the Philippine Coffee Auction.
Welcome to the 3rd coffee in our series of 9 lots purchased from the 2022 Philippine Coffee Auction! We are always looking to highlight Philippine coffee and have almost exclusively bought all of our coffee through Kalsada. In 2022, we faced the challenge of low harvest yields by the farmers we have traditionally worked with, so we sought other mediums and new producers to help us on our mission. Having previously cupped coffee from the Philippine Coffee Quality Competition (PCQC) at the Coffee Expo in April of 2022 while simultaneously winning the US Roaster Championship, we tasted some fantastic lots of coffee. These 9 lots come from various farmers in Bukidnon and Davao del Sur and serve as an excellent reminder that great coffee is being grown all over the Philippines.
About the Farmer:
Rosemarie Rupecio is one of the board of directors of the Balutakay Coffee Farmers Association (BACOFA). She has been farming coffee since 2012 but started as a vegetable farmer, having a farm in Balutakay. The lower yield of her products urged Rosemarie to transfer to Diwalwal, Compostela Valley. During her stay there, unfortunate events (such as political unrest and landslides) occurred. She had also heard that the market price for coffee beans in Balutakay was slowly increasing. This urged Rosemarie and her husband to return to their hometown and venture into coffee farming, where she joined the cooperative of BACOFA.
Peak Freshness, Every Time
Every bag begins with a fresh roast, never warehouse stock. We roast coffee in small batches and ship it shortly after, sealing in the vibrant aroma and flavor so it reaches you at its peak. From roast to doorstep, we make sure your coffee’s journey is as short and as fresh as possible.
Shipping Information
We aim to process orders within 1–2 business days, though in some cases it may take up to 3–5 business days.
Most orders are then shipped via USPS Priority Mail or USPS First Class/Ground (Local Zones), with an estimated transit time of 1–3 business days from the shipment date. Other carriers may be used at our discretion.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a tracking number to follow your package every step of the way.
