About This Coffee

Mount Apo is not only the Philippines' tallest peak—it’s the spiritual and agricultural heart of Mindanao, and the epicenter of the country’s most promising coffee revival. Nestled on the mountain’s fertile slopes are indigenous communities who’ve cultivated coffee for decades, often blending age-old wisdom with more modern processing techniques. The result is a coffee that reflects both the wildness of its volcanic origin and the gentle hands that nurture it. Smooth, with a touch of richness that feels tropical in its depth, Mount Apo’s beans embody the resilience and quiet strength of Philippine coffee farming. While still under the radar for many, it represents a nation rediscovering its rich, pre-colonial roots in the global coffee story.
