The blooms that emitted the fragrance were the lovely white flowers of the coffee trees, which eventually would become beans for us coffee fanatics. We were on the 2006 Figaro Coffee Farm tour which took us off the beaten path in Cavite, starting with Amadeo, through narrow roads and winding up at 500 feet above sea level.

[Summary] => We used to hear that phrase when we were much younger, visiting our Nanay (as in Lola) in Tanauan, Batangas. The phrase refers to the province’s legendary machismo, but then also to the legendary Batangas coffee. The first coffee trees were planted in a barrio in Lipa in the mid 1700s. Barako, strong and dark, is the most enduring coffee variety grown in the country. It was for a while threatened with extinction until the crusading Figaro Foundation was formed, with the aim of saving the trees, the number of which had significantly dwindled.

It’s no wonder we all look forward to the weekend so we can unwind and chillax with friends and family.
