About this Event
Please join CQI and program partner ACDI/VOCA during the SCA Portland Expo to sample some of the best arabica and robusta coffees from the Philippine’s 2022-2023 harvest. The cupping will take place from 10:15am – 12:00pm PST in cupping room F150.
This event will feature the top arabica and robusta coffees selected through regional competitions held in the coffee growing areas of the Philippines.
Collectively, the Philippine coffee community has worked hard over the last decade to improve their coffee quality through training stakeholder and coffee professionals and supporting their farmers and ecosystems in this diverse and fascinating country.
This event will be a celebration of five years of hard work under the USDA-funded Philippines Coffee Advancement and Farm Enterprise (PhilCAFE) program implemented by ACDI/VOCA, which concludes this year. PhilCAFE is an investment in the coffee sector that leverages private and public capital to empower legacy institutions such as the Philippines Coffee Guild, state universities and colleges (SUCs), private universities, and cooperatives in partnership with industry actors to ensure the sustained development of the coffee sector.
Come and meet some of the people who have dedicated their lives to improving not only the quality of coffee from this origin, but also advocating for Philippine coffee producers.
The annual Philippine Coffee Quality Competition (PCQC) will be held this year on May 22-26, with the winners announced at the Philippine Coffee Expo in Manila from June 2-4, 2023. An online auction will be featuring PCQC coffees will be held on July 1st.
This SCA Expo tasting event will be limited to about 24 people so please RSVP if you wish to attend.
