MANILA, Philippines – Coffee is an essential for many Filipinos (myself included).

You know what’s even better than your first cup of freshly-brewed coffee in the morning? Knowing that your beans are 100% local, directly sourced from Filipino farmers across the country.

We’ve already featured a few good local coffee names before (Go Brew, Hineleban Coffee, KapeTayo, SGD Coffee), but we’re back with another round of local businesses to support for the freshest beans from all around the country.

Working hand-in-hand with the local coffee farmers of the Mangyan tribes of Mindoro since 2014, Sinag Coffee Roastery brings to the table sustainably-sourced single-origin coffee and blends.
