About our Robusta coffee beans
Robusta is the most widely grown coffee in the Philippines. Our Robusta comes from Batangas and is dark roasted daily for a full-bodied, bold cup with a distinctive bitter edge and dark chocolate notes. It has more caffeine than Arabica, which is why many home brewers and baristas choose it for espresso and milk drinks.

How to brew it
- French press: about 15 g coarse-ground coffee per 250 ml hot water; steep 4 minutes, then press.
- Drip or pour-over: about 1 tablespoon (7–8 g) of normal-ground coffee per 180 ml cup.
- Espresso or moka pot: use a fine grind and fill the basket level without pressing hard in a moka pot.
