The Figaro Coffee Tree Planting 2024: From Crop to Cup event, organized by the Figaro Foundation in partnership with the local government and the Batangas Coffee Federation, marks a crucial step towards revitalizing the Barako coffee industry—a variety of Liberica coffee that is as much a part of Batangas' identity as its rolling hills and historical landmarks.
Barako coffee, a distinct type of Liberica, is known for its strong, bold flavor and robust aroma. It is deeply woven into the cultural fabric of Batangas and Cavite, where it has been cultivated for over a century. The coffee’s name, “Barako,” is derived from the Filipino word for a male stud, symbolizing its strong, intense character. For generations, Barako has been a staple in Filipino households, often enjoyed black or with a dash of sugar to complement its rich taste.
