Manila Coffee Festival returns bigger and sweeter

Wake up and smell the coffee on its way to Newport World Resorts. From The Coffee Heritage Project, the much-anticipated Manila Coffee Festival is slated to start brewing on March 15 to March 17 at the MGBx Convention Hall, Marriott Manila.

For its sixth edition, the annual lifestyle coffee event is branching out to the bean’s sweet partner: cacao. The “Cacao Alley” features locally processed single-origin cacao; authentic chocolates from Maranaw, Sarangani, Cotabato and Batangas; and sustainable products using the popular bonbon.

Meanwhile, the staple of the Manila Coffee festival, “The Single Origin Bar,” returns to champion even more Filipino coffee farmers featuring single-origin coffees for festival-goers to taste and savor. The signature affair adds 10 new sources to its already impressive roster where each cup offers a taste of its unique heritage alongside cultural performances by the communities that grow them.

Also on the menu are expertly crafted coffee cocktails made of single origin Arabica, Robusta and Liberica beans together with flavorful SHOTT syrup, served at the “Double Shot Bar.”

Enjoy any day of the Manila Coffee Festival with a regular pass for P350, or experience it at its fullest with the Expresso Pass at P850 for three days of unlimited access.
