Henry & Sons, the leading supplier of premium coffee products and services in the country, continues its mission to bring the local coffee industry to the international spotlight with their commitment to providing premium and quality education to aspiring baristas.

“With the rising demand for specialty coffee in the ever-growing coffee market, Henry & Sons is determined to provide aspiring baristas with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed,” said Michael Harris Conlin, Henry & Sons president and CEO.

Conlin said the company recently signed a memorandum of agreement with the National University Laguna to establish the Global Coffee School (GCS) in Calamba City.

GCS courses are recognized and offered in over 40 cities worldwide. The company provides comprehensive educational courses to equip aspiring baristas with the necessary skills and knowledge to create the best coffee products.

Courses include instruction on brewing methods and techniques, the science of coffee production, and different types of coffee drinks. Baristas will also be given hands-on experience with the most up-to-date coffee equipment, enabling them to develop their skills and gain the confidence needed to become top coffee professionals.

Conlin, a former Philippine National Barista Champion and semi-finalist in the World Barista Championship, said the collaboration aims to elevate Laguna Liberica to a global coffee brand and teach aspiring baristas in Laguna the skills they need to become sought-after in the coffee industry.

Last year, Conlin represented Laguna’s Liberica and Benguet’s Arabica at the Global Coffee Championship in Korea. Laguna’s Liberica won silver in the latte competition, while Benguet’s Arabica bagged bronze in the brewer competition.

According to experts, the Philippine coffee industry is expected to generate $6.3 billion this year or P345 billion.

Conlin, however, said 97% of the coffee in the country is imported.

“Our local coffee farmers do not benefit from the billions of revenue generated by the coffee industry. If this continues, Philippine-grown coffee is at risk of extinction. This is a loss not only for our economy but also for our culture and heritage,” he said.

Conlin noted that the program aims to help Mabato coffee farmers introduce their products to the international market and provide stability and sustainability for their livelihoods.

He also encouraged people to buy coffee sourced from local farmers to support them.

Recently, Henry & Sons’ opened two new branches of The Giving Café (TGC) at the University of the Philippines Los Baños and SM Marikina.

TGC is part of the company’s social enterprise program established to support the Foundation for Sustainable Coffee Excellence (FSCE) in its drive to make the Philippines a major player in the global coffee industry through sustainable local coffee farming.

The FSCE has been supporting farms in La Trinidad, Benguet, for some years now to help and provide farmers and their families with essential needs such as irrigation, medicines, and educational assistance.

Opened in July 2017, Henry & Sons opened TGC to provide a haven for coffee lovers. The café serves comfort food, such as champorado, sopas, and arroz caldo, and Chinese dishes, including yang chow, Taiwanese fried chicken, and sweet and sour pork.

For this season, Figaro launched their new set of drinks, and it is not just a 2 to 3 kinds of drinks but more than what you can expect in a typical launching. I was amazed of the numbers of drinks that they launched and take note it's 20 kinds of drinks. You can drop by any time, any moment and whatever your mood, because they offer drinks that matches your feelings.

I'm not a coffee lover, but I like a nice and hot Chocolate drink. Book and Borders Cafe's very own hot chocolate is the best for me, it gives something new to my taste bud, it is really different from my usual hot choco. I think I can finish 2 to 3 cups of hot choco in one sitting in this cafe. With Regards to Pasta, Fried Tuyo with Kesong Puti Pasta is really a superb one, that day my craving in Fried Tuyo was satisfied by Book and Borders dish, it is really delicious I will let my friends like the Kita Kits Gurls try this when we set a get together.

HOLIDAYS are doubly fun at Seattle’s Best, when the coffee brand that promises to serve the best coffee to its customers creates special holiday blends to usher in the season of joy.

Seattle’s Best’s holiday coffee treats are rich, lavish and delicious, the perfect accompaniment to days of feasting and celebrations.

Another favorite from last year, Coffee Hazelnut is a special coffee blend with a kick, bringing a symphony of flavors in a cup of java. The woodsy flavor of hazelnut, laced with white chocolate sauce and coconut, gives espresso a richer, nutty taste, perfect for stimulating the senses.

Caramel Apple is Seattle’s Best’s new, fruity offering for the season, the caffeine equivalent of one of the season’s traditional delights. Espresso is combined with apple syrup and white chocolate sauce, then garnished with caramel sauce, cinnamon powder and whipped cream. It’s a seasonal indulgence worth savoring repeatedly throughout the holidays.

Seattle’s Best also has created a special blend this season for adventurous types. Espresso Jelly is the bold and strong coffee concoction to liven the holidays. A perky combination of coffee jelly and espresso, topped with whipped cream and coffee jelly. A must-try for a season of heightened expectations and promises!
