Your Questions, Answered

  • Right now, we’re focusing on our house roast, lovingly named Kapemilya.  It’s 100% Arabica, from the town of Sagada, a mountain province of the Philippines 


    We also recently launched a special roast in collaboration with Rose Ave Bakery. It’s 100% Vietnamese Robusta, medium-dark roast! Available only at their Bakery in Woodley Park.

  • Absolutely! The Philippines is one of the only countries that produces four varieties of coffee beans- Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa.  I can’t wait to share these special beans with you! 

  • Unlike wine, roasted coffee is much better when it’s fresh, shortly after it’s been roasted.  Most of the coffee you can buy in the grocery store only shows an expiration date, but do you know when it was roasted? We recommend enjoying our coffee as soon as you purchase it.  For our roast date, subtract 6 months from the date stamped on your bag!

  • The demand for coffee from the Philippines has increased and the farms are limited to what they can produce in the harvest season. We are dedicated to paying farmers a fair price for their hard work to ensure they can support themselves and their families. 

  • Thank you for all the love you showed us while we were at Hiraya! We are grateful for the time we spent there and the experience we gained! We are happy to announce we will be serving our coffee at Joia Burger (Glover Park), in collaboration with Chef Patrice Cleary.
