DESCRIPTION

Picture this: You’re up in the cool mountains of the Philippines. It’s the crack of dawn, and you’ve got a toasty cup of coffee in hand. Now that’s a way to start your morning.

Ilaya is made with some of the finest beans produced in the highlands of the Philippines: Benguet Sitio Belis and Bukidnon Fine Robusta. Together, they create warm and cozy notes of orange, roasted nuts, and cocoa. Expect a medium body with a pronounced sweetness and acidity, ideal for brewing as an espresso, pour-over, or with a coffee maker.


At Plain Sight, we believe that getting your coffee to you at the right time provides for a great brewing experience. We make sure that you'll get your coffees not more than 10 days from the roast date, ensuring the right amount of time for you to try it out without it being too fresh off the roast. We recommend brewing the coffee 7 days from roast and flavors will peak around 2-4 weeks from roast

COFFEE ORIGIN

PHILIPPINES

Coffee in the Philippines boasts a rich history, with Arabica and Robusta varieties grown across diverse regions. While not a major player globally, the Philippines offers unique and flavorful beans favored for their mild acidity and fruity notes. Smallholder farmers dominate production, often employing traditional methods. The country's volcanic soil and tropical climate contribute to its distinct coffee profiles. Though facing challenges such as aging trees and low productivity, efforts to revive the industry are underway, with a growing focus on sustainability and quality. Filipino coffee presents an opportunity for drinkers to explore distinctive and ethically sourced brews.
