DAVAO CITY (PIA) —Local coffee and cacao took the spotlight during the 2nd Coffee and Cacao Experience, one of the events under the Davao Food and Wine Festival.
From October 5-6 at Abreeza Ayala Mall in Davao City, 30 establishments set up their respective booths in participation in various activities, including competition between baristas and tablea mixologists.
“This event is free, and we have a lot of competitions, talks, and tastings for everybody,” said the organizer of the event, Monica Floirendo Ugarte.
“It is a two-day festival celebrating how coffee and cacao are very important to our Davao Region; we are the most prolific growers of these two crops here in the Philippines,” Ugarte added.
The 1st Cacao and Coffee Experience was held at Seda Hotel Davao in 2023, and its success gave way to the resumption of the event this year. (PIA/RGA)
