Sourcing rare Philippine coffees
Led by our Kape Director and resident roaster- Silvester Dan Samonte, LICK aims to source and advocate the unique and wonderful flavors of Philippine Specialty Coffee through close partnership and communication with local farms, cooperatives, and farmers.
"Really good coffee is a love a story on its own. The romance starts with a hike up the mountains to taste the coffee fruit and understand the bio-dynamics in its growing. When matched with the perfect water and brewing dynamics, the freshly ground coffee turns into a tasty beverage with flavor bursting out of the aromas in your nose and taste in your mouth”
