Question

Is it true, coffee is grown in the philippines?

Answer 1

Coffee is grown all over the Philippines, but the best is Monk's Blend premium coffee, made from the finest robusta and arabica coffee beans, nurtured in the cold climate, high altitude and unique volcanic soil of Bukidnon, Mindanao. This premium coffee has no preservatives or additives; just the natural goodness of fresh, mountain-grown coffee, roasted and blended to perfection by the Benedictine monks at the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Malaybalay, Bukidnon.  

Answer 2

Yes, it used to be Batangas and Cavite's main produce. But sometime in the late 70's and early 80's their prodution declined sharply.  I heard that they are trying revive to this industry.

Answer 3

Yes, it is true. We grow coffee in our farm in Basilan.

Answer 4

yeah... and in some other countries, too.

Answer 5

yes, the rumor is true.

Answer 6

When I was a kid, I used to help my mother harvest coffee beans at the coffee farm owned by a  farmer  friend. There were many  coffee farms  in the southern part of the Philippines (Bukidnon, Butuan, South Cotabato). Im sure , farmers still cultivate it to this  day.  I remember, I  didnt like harvesting coffee  because there were lots of ants (the black ones) and we had to climb using a  ladder to reach those at the top.  We also harvested  cacao  to make chocolate drinks. I prefer  harvesting cacao because it was  easier and sometimes I ate some of them  because it's  sweet.
