Farmer Stories

In the highlands of Batangas, meet Aling Rosario, a third-generation Liberica grower. Her family has cultivated Barako trees for over 60 years using traditional drying and hand-sorting methods. Her dedication ensures that every cup of Fortiz Wild carries a legacy of boldness and strength.

From the cooler slopes of Benguet, we bring you Juanito, who harvests Arabica beans surrounded by pine forests. His careful sun-drying technique preserves the bean’s floral sweetness, reflected in our Fortiz Heritage.

Down in Cavite, brothers Mateo and Paulo blend Excelsa with Robusta in their small cooperative. Their approach balances deep chocolate notes with a bright bright fruity punch—found in Fortiz Valor.

Each farmer we work with is part of the Terra Fortiz mission—to honor heritage, empower livelihoods, and redefine Filipino coffee on the world stage.
