What is Specialty Coffee?

Specialty coffee is defined by its high quality, from the cultivation process to the final cup, with Arabica beans being the most sought-after. Grown at high altitudes in the Philippines, particularly in areas like Benguet, Bukidnon, and Davao del Sur,, these beans exhibit bright acidity, a rich body, and flavour notes ranging from milk chocolate to dark chocolate, nuts, caramel, tropical fruits, and even to delicate floral hints. These qualities make Arabica the top choice for specialty coffee lovers.
