We grow Typica and Catimor arabica at 1,500 to 1,600 metres in Balutakay and Alegre, Davao del Sur, on the slopes of the Philippines' highest peak, process the cherries ourselves and roast every lot to order in Quezon City. Because one team handles farm, processing and roasting, each bag tells you its site, its process and its roast date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery coffee here is a natural or an anaerobic natural, dried with the cherry on the bean, which is why the series tastes of fruit: jackfruit, berries and pineapple in the straight naturals, wine, stone fruit and citrus in the anaerobic lots. Mt. Apo Homegrown Espresso is the medium roast most people start with, a fruity, sweet shot of jackfruit, berries, chocolate and cream. Espresso Bold is the same coffee roasted medium-dark for milk drinks and traditional palates, and the coffee mybest ranked fifth among the best coffee beans in the Philippines for 2026. The Natural, Lot #009 (a three-day anaerobic natural) and Supernatural (our extended anaerobic natural) are roasted light for pour-over and filter, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mt-apo-homegrown-drip-coffee\"\u003eDrip Coffee bags\u003c\/a\u003e put 12 g of medium-dark Mt. Apo coffee in a single-serve sachet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose whole bean or ground to your brewer at checkout. Bags are 200 g, 500 g and 1 kg, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mt-apo-supernatural\"\u003eSupernatural and Lot #009\u003c\/a\u003e lots are limited each crop year, so they move to pre-order when a roast sells out. Orders ship nationwide from Quezon City, free from ₱2,000, in one to two days within Metro Manila. Cafés can buy Mt. Apo Espresso and Espresso Bold in 5, 10 and 20 kg business bundles, and roasters can buy the green lots by the kilo.
