  1. This coffee has been rated 84.68 by independent professional coffee tasters, which means this coffee is excellent. Coffees that score 80 or above are considered a specialty.

  2. In this process the whole coffee cherries are dried on elevated beds, i.e., the coffee bean stays inside the cherry while is being dried. Not surprisingly natural processed coffees tend to have fruity flavors. Tropical fruits in this case.

  3. It’s believed that typica coffee was first grown in what today is Indonesia in the XVII century, then taken to Amsterdam and elsewhere from there. Within the arabica species, typica coffees are among the finest, e.g., Jamaica Blue Mountain but are highly susceptible to the coffee leaf rust and other diseases.

In the community of Pigtauranan in Pangantucan, which sits at 1,100 masl on the foothills of Mt. Kalatungan, life has its rhythm. National holidays can be just like any other regular day.

There, coffee has been cultivated for a while but eventually, farmers lost interest in growing coffee because the prices they used to get paid for coffee were too low.
However, in recent years, with the help of private and government organizations, the farmers in Bukidnon have improved their farming and processing practices, resulting in even better coffees that command higher prices for farmers and producers. These days, besides coffee, the members of BMMPC grow cacao, banana, and vegetables.
