March 2024: Kapé Coffee Roasters

Secret Sip Coffee Club, arguably Canada's coolest coffee club 😉, is thrilled to introduce Kapé Coffee, a true gem in the world of specialty coffee. Kapé Coffee is on a mission to promote ethically sourced, farmer-first, direct trade coffee from Philippine Indigenous growers. Roasted on the unceded Coast Salish Territories in Vancouver, Canada, Kapé Coffee brings you some of the most unique and exquisite coffees from the Philippine highlands.

In their latest batch, Kapé Coffee presents a true gem - Ate Leonilda Dalogdog's Kapé. This Specialty Robusta coffee hails from Marayag, Lupon, Davao Oriental, and has been recognized as one of the Top 10 in the Philippine Coffee Quality Competition for Robusta. Grown at an elevation of 1000 meters above sea level, this coffee boasts a natural process and is of the Robusta varietal. With tasting notes of piaya (muscovado pressed pastry), polvorón, ampaw (sweet puffed rice), and hints of bourbon whisky, Ate Leonilda Dalogdog's Kapé offers a truly unique and flavorful experience.

At Kapé Coffee, their mission goes beyond just great coffee. They are committed to building relationships with the native farmers they work with, ensuring fair and sustainable practices every step of the way. By sourcing beans directly from trusted farmers in the Philippine highlands, Kapé Coffee honors the hard work and dedication of these families, providing them with a meaningful and sustainable livelihood.

Partnering with a neighborhood roaster in East Vancouver, on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, Kapé Coffee roasts their beans in small batches. This ensures that each batch is carefully crafted to perfection, allowing the unique flavors of the coffee to shine through.

Secret Sip Coffee Club, Canada's coolest coffee club, is proud to partner with Kapé Coffee and feature Ate Leonilda Dalogdog's Kapé as part of our exclusive selection. Join us in experiencing the magic of this hidden gem and elevate your coffee ritual to new heights.
