The Best Coffee in the Philippines

Coffee in the Philippines passes through many hands before it reaches a cup. This documentary traces that journey from Sagada to Bukidnon, Cavite, Cebu, and beyond, through the work of the farmers, processors, roasters, and advocates who carry our coffee forward. Their stories reveal a turning point for Philippine coffee: rising demand, limited supply, and the question of whether the people who built this industry will remain part of its future. The film asks what kind of coffee country we can be, and what story we want our coffee to tell in the years ahead.
