Barako Bold Cavite/Batangas Liberica (Single Origin) - Whole Bean

🌳 BARAKO BOLD LIBERICA
Heritage Beans. Iconic Flavor. Legendary Roots.

Barako (Liberica) is the pride of Batangas and Cavite, a rare coffee species that’s as bold as its story. Known for its larger-than-life beans and unforgettable flavor, this 100% Liberica brews a cup that’s unlike anything else in the world.

Expect rich notes of jackfruit sweetness, deep molasses, and a subtle anise spice that lingers on the finish. With a full-bodied profile and a touch of wildness, Barako is both familiar and exotic... the kind of cup that makes you sit up and pay attention.

Liberica is more than just coffee; it’s cultural heritage in every sip. Once nearly lost to history, Barako thrives thanks to generations of Filipino farmers keeping its legend alive. This is coffee with roots deeper than taste - it’s tradition, resilience, and pride in a cup.

What is Barkada Coffee?
We’re a small Filipina-owned Portland-based coffee company sharing bold brews and Filipino roots. We highlight Philippine-grown coffee (one of the only places in the world that grows all four coffee species) and bring those flavors to your cup.

Where do you source your coffee?
All of our beans come directly from the Philippines, grown by farmers across Benguet, Batangas, Sultan Kudarat, and all across the 3 major regions of the Philippines. We partner with our trusted roasters, Teofilo Coffee Company, who help us showcase the unique character of each region.

What makes Philippine coffee special?
The Philippines grows Robusta, Excelsa, Arabica, and Liberica (aka Barako). Each species is distinct... from smooth florals to bold, funky, and heritage-rich. You won’t find this range anywhere else in the world.

Do you offer ground coffee or only whole bean?
Most of our retail bags are whole bean to keep things fresh. But we’ve got single-serve pour-over pouches (no grinder needed!) and coming soon, we'll have cold brew concentrate for ready-to-go options.

How fresh is the coffee?
Our partners roast in small batches and we thoughtfully pack and ship soon after, so you’re getting beans when they taste best. Store them in a cool, dry spot, and brew within a few weeks of opening for the best experience.

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes! We ship across mainland U.S. right now. Local pickup/delivery options may pop up in the Portland Metro area. Follow us on Instagram or check our Events page to catch us in person for local pickup.

Can I find you in person?
Yes! Barkada Coffee pops up at local markets, festivals, and events around Portland. Check our Events Calendar to see where we’ll be next.

Do you wholesale or work with shops?
We’re open to wholesale and collaborations! If you’re a café, shop, or community space interested in carrying Barkada Coffee, reach out through our Contact page and let's chat.

How can I support beyond buying coffee?
Aw, we'd love your continued support! Follow us on Instagram, share Barkada with your friends, or stop by a pop-up. Every post, sip, and shoutout helps us grow and share Philippine coffee culture while uplifting our local coffee farming communities in the Philippines.
