Bring me some samples of your roast please, I want to try! :)Grace In Full Measurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118056287274257141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970685006532758344.post-41222583319952169622012-02-20T12:43:28.634+08:002012-02-20T12:43:28.634+08:00Even if you don't tell me that, i perfectly kn...Even if you don't tell me that, i perfectly know because i am a Batangueno, 'pinalaki sa kape' both literally and figuratively, and I am a horticulturist too, where coffee is included, haha! It is just that i don't have time to do that anymore, it is easier to ask someone to buy me from Vietnam or Gourmet brand from the supermarkets.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970685006532758344.post-54090817453630669982012-02-17T21:05:07.959+08:002012-02-17T21:05:07.959+08:00Oh Andrea, it's a waste you don't brew you...Oh Andrea, it's a waste you don't brew your own beans! Please try, it is a great experience :)<br /><br />Bom, I think it's largely because there are no big industries to support the farmers. Most operate as backyard businesses that's why the standards are not at par with around the globe, and are not consistent. But it's a great product nonetheless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02093476872714032382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970685006532758344.post-26375841146337443242012-02-15T13:58:45.313+08:002012-02-15T13:58:45.313+08:00Barako is wonderful.

If I remember correctly, it mentioned that Batangas coffee, presumably barako, was in fact underrated only because of lack of QC for the beans. All beans were used even those that were not in perfect condition.Bomhttp://www.plantchaser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970685006532758344.post-77466738777506573882012-02-15T08:52:27.358+08:002012-02-15T08:52:27.358+08:00We still have them in the farm too, but not cared ...We still have them in the farm too, but not cared for anymore, most of the time they just fall off and sprout, just left there. But we only have few trees left after father died, imagine my 81 yrs old mother still climbing those Liberica trees! They are more erect and more difficult to climb than the other varieties, we have a few too. Sometimes she just was able to gather 2 sacks when already dried. It is very cheap bought by passing buyers who dictate their prize, lugi pa sa pag-akyat ng Nanay ko. The funny thing is i buy those packed coffee grounds at the supermarket, which are very expensive! Whew!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
