Barako Coffee
Popularly grown in Batangas and Cavite, the barako coffee bean features a strong, bold, and intense flavor profile. It is a variety of liberica coffee, a less popular bean not usually grown commercially, unlike arabica and robusta. It is noted for its high caffeine content, which can instantly perk you up. Many locals who drink it black for its deep, dark taste find it superior to robusta and also prefer it over arabica.
Arabica Coffee
Arabica coffee has a sweet, mellow, floral flavor profile compared to robusta. A sip will give you hints of sugar, fruit, and berries, and it can sometimes even have chocolatey notes. Usually oval in shape, arabica beans are typically grown at high altitudes in rich soil, which is why they are mostly sourced from Latin America. Because of their sensitivity, they are pricier than robusta beans, but are also higher in quality. Its various nuances can be likened to those of wine.
