SEOUL, 11 April 2022 — The Philippine Embassy in Seoul held a cupping of Philippine coffee in conjunction with the celebration of the Filipino Food Month this April. The Philippines is one of the world’s oldest producers of coffee and is widely known for its four coffee varieties: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa.

Led by Commercial Counselor Jose Ma. Dinsay, Post sourced freshly picked green coffee beans from the Philippines which were then roasted in Korea. The excellent aroma and taste of Philippine coffee Arabica from Benguet Province and Liberica or the “barako” coffee from Batangas were highlighted during the cupping event. Participants enjoyed the rich taste and aroma of the different Philippine coffee variants, and took part in the cupping session to identify which of the varieties and roasting methods will be well-received by the Korean palate. This initiative is a preparatory activity ahead of the country’s participation in the upcoming Coffee Expo Seoul where Philippine coffee varieties will be promoted to the Korean coffee market. END
