Artisans Philippine Coffee Beans, Barako Gold Medium and Dark Roast Beans, 1.1 Pounds Per Bag

Flavor Name: Med and Dark Roast Barako Beans I Size: 17.6 ounces (1 polyethylene package) If you want something different and unique in your coffee experience, like a craft beer versus an industry lager, then you want Liberica beans. Long minimized by industry growers because it requires more time and labor to produce. The truth is that this now rare coffee variety offers more taste than Arabica and Robusta beans. Preserved by family farmers in the Philippines for local traditions, Liberica coffee evokes the farm and the forest, handcraft, and heritage. Batangas Blend offers the exceptional aroma of the Liberica coffee variety with the addition of the Robusta bean’s strong character for a distinctly unique and rare taste experience. Blending these varieties, in this proportion, enhances the coffee’s range and sequence of tastes, from an initial bitterness from the Robusta to a sweeter finish from the Liberica. “Help us to save this heirloom coffee variety from extinction, and to make our coffee culture more diverse and vibrant.”

• Liberica coffee is a rare and unique pleasure for coffee enthusiasts and anyone tired of the monotony of Arabica beans in coffee culture;
• An heirloom coffee variety once near extinction and now at less than 3% of global coffee consumption;
• Liberica is less caffeinated than Arabica and Robusta yet far bolder and complex in taste;
• Our Batangas Blend with 70% Liberica and 30% Robusta is blended to complete a full, more satisfying coffee flavor, slightly bitter on the front end and sweeter on the back end;
• Our coffee beans are grown with dedication by small-scale farmers in tropical lowland forest areas in the Philippines. Our Barako Gold and Batangas Blend are an excellent espresso variety due to superior sweetness.
