Coffee tree is a small evergreen tree of Rubiaceae. Coffee for daily consumption is made from coffee beans combined with various cooking utensils, and coffee beans refer to the nuts in the fruit of coffee trees, which are then baked in an appropriate way. The taste of a standard cup of coffee should not be bitter, and a qualified barista will strictly carry out every step when making coffee. Finally, the coffee presented to the guests will show varying degrees of sweetness, acidity, mellow thickness or cleanliness in the taste.

Coffee was introduced into the Philippines (Philippines) in the early 19th century, and by 1880 the country had become the fourth largest coffee exporter in the world. However, due to the spread of coffee rust, the country became a coffee importer shortly after 1880.

However, the coffee growing industry has gradually recovered. Today, after slow and steady development, the country's coffee industry is growing, and there is great potential for the development of high-quality varieties. The Philippine coffee industry is operated by the national industrial and trade department, but it is loosely managed, while all coffee exports are operated by private companies.

In fact, the Philippines is one of the few countries that can grow four varieties of coffee, namely Robart, Lieberica, Exelsa and Arabica coffee. Mindanao, the second largest island in the southernmost part of the Philippines, produces high quality and high yield Arabica coffee.
