Brewing Success: The Philippine Coffee Expo Returns to One Ayala

Join us as we explore the latest in the Philippine coffee industry from May 9-11.

Get ready to sip and savor as the Philippine Coffee Expo makes its grand return! Set to unfold from May 9-11 at One Ayala, this year’s theme, “Charting New Frontiers,” promises a java-fueled exploration of everything coffee! Hosted by the Philippine Coffee Guild, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Department of Agriculture (DA), and the Barista Coffee Academy Asia, this event aims to highlight the dynamism and excellence of the local coffee industry.

Following the success of last year’s event, the expo will plant its roots in the bustling heart of Makati, promising to be an unforgettable gathering for coffee enthusiasts, industry stakeholders, and experts alike. One of the most exciting aspects? It serves as the culminating event for the Philippine Coffee Quality Competition (PCQC), where the champions of quality coffee will be honored and awarded.

The PCQC has a vital mission: to identify and promote the best quality coffees in the Philippines, thus benefiting everyone from farmers to consumers. By elevating the quality of local brews, the competition opens doors for farmers, connecting them with specialty buyers and enhancing market access.

This year’s expo is packed to the brim with highlights such as:

  • Kape’t Kwentuhan Sessions: Engaging discussions with coffee connoisseurs.
  • Local and International Speakers: Gain insights from experts around the globe.
  • Coffee Exhibition: Browse and taste the best brews from over 100 local producers.
  • Business Matching: Link farmers with buyers for lucrative opportunities.
  • Product Demos & Roasters-Producers Forum: Learn about the latest innovations in coffee.
  • Cupping Room & Pop-up Cafes: Experience the full range of flavors!
  • Guild Barista and Roasting Competitions: Witness skillful demonstrations and competitive spirits.

Dr. Emmanuel Garcia, the chairperson of the Philippine Coffee Guild, sums it up perfectly: “This year’s Philippine Coffee Expo builds on the success of previous editions by bringing the community together in an even more dynamic and collaborative space.” That means engaging discussions, an expanded network of exhibitors, and exciting opportunities for all coffee lovers!

So, whether you’re a producer, a barista, or simply a coffee enthusiast who loves a good brew, this expo is the perfect place to deepen your connections and discover the best of Philippine coffee. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary event that’s not just about coffee, but about inspiring innovation and celebrating the artistry of our local coffee industry!
