If you really know me then you’d know that I really LOVE coffee. I absolutely can not live without it. My day is not complete without drinking at least a cup. So, I guess it won’t surprise you to know that I worked for the Philippine coffee industry for 5 1/2 years, first in a local coffee company and then with the Philippine Coffee Board.
One of the coffee events that I always looked forward to organizing (and attending) is the annual coffee festival, Coffee Origins, which takes place every October because it’s what we dubbed as the Coffee Month. I’m so excited to invite all you fellow coffeeholics out there to attend the upcoming Coffee Origins, happening in a few weeks. Here are more info about the event.
All roads lead to Greenbelt 5 at the Ayala Malls and Philippine Coffee Board’s annual coffee event called COFFEE ORIGINS 2013. This yearly event is the biggest coffee tasting experience with over 10 companies providing free coffee samples including creamers and sweeteners like coconut sugar, muscovado and other sweeteners.
Sponsored by the industry’s ardent supporters like URC for Great taste Coffee, Cream-All non-dairy creamer, Suchero coconut sugar, Aquabest purified water and many roasting companies and local governments like Cavite, national agencies like Dept.of Trade and Industry- Kalinga, DA-AMAS, ARMM and other non-profits, it will run from October 10-22, 2013.
Everyday, free coffee will be given away to thousands of mall-goers, coffee enthusiasts as they savor and experience brews from all over the archipelago.October 19 is a date to mark for Coffee 101 seminars at Enderun in Taguig City, and October 23 is the 6th National Coffee Summit at the Landbank Plaza, Malate, Manila.
Those wanting to get into coffee or simply are coffee aficionados should not miss these events. The Philippine Coffee Board Inc. (PCBI) has been doing this show for over 10 years now and this is known to be the biggest coffee celebration in the country.
