Nearly all of this coffees is locally consumed and goes to the instant coffee market. Specialty Arabica is hard to come buy here, let alone robusta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMt Kalatungun on the island of Mindanao is home to some fantastic arabica coffees like the Kalasan sweet we have featured in the past. Some growers at the lower elevations of 1000-1200masl also grow robusta. This is very high altitude for robusta, which like arabica seems to show an increase in quality as altitude climbs and temperatures cool off. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were able to source a very small lot of anaerobic natural processed robusta from this area, most of which went to our Robusta subscription.

And we know why: strip-picking and careless processing is encouraged to keep costs low for the primary buyers, the instant coffee and discount coffee brands. Unsurprisingly, robusta coffee farmers typically earn half or less that of arabica growers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParadise Coffee Roasters has been a champion of robusta coffee producers since 2004. And to that effect, Paradise founder Miguel has been supporting and collaborating with robusta growers in India, Ecuador, Thailand, and now the Philippines. We believe that if the industry is serious about sustainability and truly cares about coffee producers, we cannot afford to ignore nearly half of the coffee farmers in the world.
