The 2 winners who will get to join the Kape Isla Farm Tour shall be announced on September 29.

The Kape Isla Farm Tour consists of stop-over at:
  1. The National Coffee Research Center in Cavite State University in Indang, Cavite. Tour around the coffee farm to see seedlings, coffee flowers, coffee fruits, different kinds of coffee varieties and have an espresso at the coffee center.
  2. The Beneficio Amadeo - a coffee mill. See how green coffee or dried coffee cherries is brought to the mill for cleaning and sorting before being bagged prior to delivery to roasters.
  3. Coffee Roasting Plant. See how coffee beans transform from being green to a nice golden brown or dark brown depending on the roast being processed.
  4. Along the way, see many coffee plantations, pineapple and banana farms and vegetable farms as well.
Hope you can join. =)

In addition, there will be a Kape Isla Tour that is open to the public on October 16. If you are interested to join, just contact the Philippine Coffee Board for details.
