Barako is liberica beans Which is quite rare and expensive since you can only harvest once a year. Philippines is one of the few countries to have 4 type. Arabica, liberica, robusta and excelsa all year round. Taste wise i still prefer arabica bcoz of sweet notes. Liberica is too earthy for me with undertone of spice. Its best served brewed or french pressed. If youve happen to got a hold of robusta from sultan kudarat, thats a great find. Or arabica from mt. Apo or matutum
Oh Philippines have very good coffee, one of those is the most expensive coffee beans in the world that is only indemic in the Philippines which is the Civet Coffee beans, which is so, so, so delicious as well as it is expensive.
Civet Coffee or Coffee Alamid in Tagalog is not only found in the Philippines. It is also found in other countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam. Indonesia is the largest producer of Civet Coffee which they call it kopi luwak. And by the way, the most expensive coffee in the world is the Black Ivory Coffee as it cost $1,500 per pound compared to the Civet Coffee which is $600 per pound.
You should just boil the grounded beans for let say 10-15mins. The proper way for that type of beans. Then allow sediments to separate from coffee..or use filter to transfer coffee to cup
I disagree. Small coffee shops are scattered across metro Manila now. I'm from Pasig and there's a shop called Simply Coffee & Co. where I bought a half kilo of Barako beans for Php250 only (around US$10 per kilo).
Wont mince words, i found it revolting the first time. Almost had me puke! Eventually grew accustomed to it, thankfully. Still far from the best tasting coffee though. Id describe it as having a bold, very acidic taste (too acidic even) w/ a hard liquor aftertaste. In spite this, there will always be barako in my pantry; as the positives fairly overturn the negative. Being a local product, its always available & affordable. Its very handy; strong coffees help remedy my nausea, motion sickness or hunger.
@@soonsuicidalrecently, ive been able to find Arabica grounds that are the same price per pound as barakos i had mentioned. I use that instead-- better suited to my taste. I also had been tying Benguet (though i dont know what type of bean). Its fine, but right now im leaning to Arabica still.
@@firagaspellblade4509 Thank you will definitely try the arabica soon. Not a coffee lover so Im hoping arabica can spark something inside of me lol. Liberica/barako is just too strong for me. 🤣
I actually found one brand that made me love PH's barako coffee. It's Batangas Brew Kapeng Barako but I'm not sure if it's still available. When I try to buy kapeng barako, it doesn't come close to Batangas Brew. I think Batangas Brew is medium roast as most barako coffee is dark or espresso roast.
I found the same results in the taste. I had to drop my brew temperature to 176F on my espresso machine to get a more balanced extraction of Barako from Good Beans coffee somewhere in Makati or Manila. The Jack Fruit flavor was very creamy, but not an everyday coffee for me.
Drinking Barako coffee always reminds me of campfires, very rich, woody, and smoky. You'll definitely feel the caffeine kick as well.

Actually, Liberica has less caffeine compared with Robusta and Arabica, despite the strong taste.
Yes... Woody. Like freshly sawed damp logs of wood.
An acquired taste.
did you just measure that by filling the porta filter?
Where did you buy your beans?
I got it from the Philippines, at a shop in Manila!
Is it worth buying? I'm from the Philippines yet it is still rare here.
Definitely, it's quite special in taste, even better if you brew in a french press actually.

@@zukunftsalick aeropress works best
@@bb2na473 now you make me want to buy one :)
It's actually very common.
why is it light brown? i always get the almost black when brewed. and smell the burnt smell. strong coffee smell.
You are right. Usually it's dark roast but this one was more like a medium-high roast.
Using barako as an espresso is not the way to drink it at all 😂
I had to try at least once lol
Wont mince words, i found it revolting the first time. Almost had me puke! Eventually grew accustomed to it, thankfully. Still far from the best tasting coffee though.

So which type of coffee do you prefer the most?
