The Philippine
Liberica Coffee is being championed around the world and capturing the hearts
and taste preferences of expert baristas and judges around the world by Michael

applying unique post-harvest methodologies and a proprietary blend of
microorganisms that bring out beautiful floral aromas and clean tropical flavor
notes from the coffee.
Liberica
is a rare and unique species of coffee that is known for its low caffeine
content, low bitterness, and high sweetness. Liberica can be considered the
future of coffee as it is climate change resistant and has a deep,
intricate root system that makes it resistant to storms and drought.

competition where baristas must create three coffee courses (Espresso, Milk,
and Signature) and serve them to an expert panel of judges while delivering a
meaningful message that shows their expertise and knowledge in coffee.
Barista
Keisuke’s message was about how Climate change have reduced the harvest by 70%,
and by using exploring biodynamic farming techniques, rare species like the
Laguna Liberica may be the answer to ensuring that future generations would
still be able to enjoy coffee.
