Monks’ Blend Coffee
Three years ago, Aimee Frias and her husband vacationed in Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao.
On that trip, Frias was served locally grown coffee. That was her first encounter with Monks’ Blend.
One of the first things that attracted Frias to Monks’ Blend was its aroma. Also, the taste was comparable to that being served in leading coffee shops in Manila. “I decided to bring a few packs of Monks’ Blend back to Manila for my officemates,†she said. “They really liked the taste so that made me think of ways to bring in the product and sell on a regular basis.â€
Monks’ Blend – a fusion of the Arabica and Robusta coffee beans – is a product of the Monastery of Transfiguration based in Bukidnon. Since 1991, coffee processing has become part of the monk community’s effort to remain self-sufficient.

Monk’s Blend tastes better than Starbucks’ brew. I like it best French pressed. It isn’t a surprise that my coffee-drinking friends in Manila love it too. I think it’s sold in some groceries/supermarkets (once saw it at 7-11) but 30% more expensive.
