Kapeng Barako is a strong and aromatic coffee variety native to the Philippines, particularly grown in the Batangas region. It is made from the Coffea liberica plant, which produces larger beans compared to the more common Arabica and Robusta varieties. Kapeng Barako is known for its bold flavor, often described as earthy and slightly fruity, making it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts. This coffee is traditionally brewed using a method called "sipit," where the ground coffee is steeped in hot water. Kapeng Barako is not only enjoyed for its taste but also holds cultural significance in Filipino society, often served during gatherings and celebrations.
