Authentic 100% Liberica coffee! Liberica's almond-shaped beans have an exceptional aroma, almost floral and fruity, while its flavor is full and slightly smokey. It is the rarest production coffee species in the world.
 
Kape Barako, also spelled Baraco (English: Barako coffee) is a coffee varietal grown in the Philippines, particularly in the provinces of Batangas and Cavite. It belongs to the species of Coffea Liberica. The term is also used to refer to all coffee coming from those provinces. Barako is the Filipino term for a male stud of an animal, and has become associated with the image of a tough man.
 
Kape Barako is prepared using a drip brewing device, French press, or by simply pouring hot water unto the grounds and filtering the mixture using a piece of cloth. Barako is best sweetened with honey or brown sugar. Barako can be used to make espresso and other espresso-based drinks.
 
Best flavor profile seems to be at Light-Medium, or City roast level. This crop really shines, with incredible aroma and intense flavor. We were surprised, because normally a lighter roast is missing some elements, but we believe in letting a coffee follow its heart.
 
Liberica is an amazing coffee for blending. We use 20% Liberica mixed with coffees like Lintong or Estate to really enrich the flavor profile and add exotic notes. It also has a high amount of solids, making great crema in expresso.
 
It's naturally lower in caffeine, making it a good candidate for caffeine-sensitive coffee fans.
