COFFEE ORIGIN

Guatemala

Guatemala's diverse growing regions yield exceptional coffees, celebrated globally for their rich flavors. Despite setbacks like Coffee Leaf Rust, the country continues to produce high-quality beans, with innovative processing methods driving record-breaking prices. The industry's diversity, including smallholder farmers and cooperatives, contributes to the coffee's overall quality improvement. Cooperatives offer support and training, empowering farmers to market their coffee as specialty, further enhancing Guatemala's reputation in the coffee world.

Uganda

Uganda’s unique location and microclimate create a fascinating range of flavors in both Arabica and Robusta coffee. Ugandan Arabica typically features bright notes of dried fruit, citrus, and spice, where most of it is grown on Mount Elgon, the world’s largest free-standing volcano. Meanwhile, Ugandan Robusta offers a distinct flavor profile, ranging from caramel and nutty notes to tropical fruit and spice. Coffee in this region is proudly produced using sustainable farming practices and environmentally friendly techniques.

Typically, you can expect a bold cup with notes of cacao, molasses, and a hint of nuttiness. Stakeholders and agencies continue to push efforts to advance the local coffee industry, with the the ambition to establish Sultan Kudarat as the “Coffee Capital of the Philippines.”
