Support local coffee bean farmers!
Despite the repetitive routine we’ve more or less kept up with in quarantine, our daily cup of coffee isn’t one to be messed with. But, if you’re itching to change up your stash of beans or instant drip, we can’t recommend a better time to swap your current blend for a locally-sourced bag of coffee beans. To get you through the next few weeks in quarantine, we’ve put together a list of local brands that source local coffee beans for you to try.
Hats off to you if your go-to cup is already made from Philippine coffee! In that case, you might want to check out other local brands to change things up.

10. Commune
Commune is a local coffee brand that needs no introduction. Although relatively popular in the local coffee scene, many might not know that Commune exclusively uses Philippine coffee beans for its coffee menu. In addition to the single origin beans they use and sell from Mount Matutum, Mount Kitanglad and Sagada to name a few, you can also order their Commune Blend, which is a blend of both Arabica and Robusta beans sourced locally.
From their selection, we recommend the Commune Blend, Sagada 100% Arabica and the Mount Matutum 100% Arabica beans.

11. Stout Coffee
Stout Coffee was born out of the curiosity of two coffee-loving sisters, who came to realize the lack of credit Philippine coffee was getting both locally and internationally. Their vision was not only to make good coffee, but to give back to the community who help craft the perfect cup.
Proudly offering 100% Philippine-sourced coffee beans, Stout Coffee offers a growing range of beans from Atok, Benguet to Mt. Matutum and beyond.
Their menu consists of both single origin and commercial coffee beans that you can purchase in individual packs or in a sampler pack.
