High in the central Cordillera Mountains, enveloped in near-perpetual mist, lies Sagada. This remote town is famous for its hanging coffins and limestone caves, but for coffee lovers, it is the home of the legendary Sagada Arabica. Grown at elevations exceeding 1,600 meters, the coffee trees here benefit from some of the coldest temperatures in the Philippines, resulting in a dense, flavor-packed bean that is highly coveted by roasters worldwide.
The coffee culture in Sagada is deeply personal. Unlike large plantations, Sagada coffee is grown in "backyard gardens" and small forest patches where the trees are shaded by towering pine trees. The farmers, belonging to the Kankanaey indigenous group, have cultivated coffee for generations, often passing down specific heirloom trees as family legacies. Because the terrain is so rugged, every stage of production—from hauling organic fertilizers up the slopes to carrying sacks of cherries down—is done by hand.
The Sagada profile is defined by its complexity. The cold mountain nights slow down the maturation of the cherry, allowing a distinct acidity to develop. Most Sagada coffee is wet-processed (washed) or honey-processed using pristine mountain spring water, then sun-dried on wooden racks. This traditional care results in a clean, sophisticated cup with a bittersweet balance, often featuring notes of milk chocolate, fresh berries, and a hint of citrus.
For the people of Sagada, coffee is a thread that connects their ancestral past to a sustainable future. It is a crop that respects the land and rewards the patient. By choosing Sagada coffee, you are supporting a community that prioritises quality over quantity and heritage over mass production.

I really enjoyed the coffees I ordered ! The communication was perfect and really enjoyable.
I discovered Liberica as I never tried one before and found it really cool.
We drink this as espresso, and it's simply delightful! It has a subtle fruity flavor and a sweet aftertaste that makes each cup smooth and enjoyable.
