UCC Coffee Academy in the Philippines
UCC Coffee Academy this is a place for people who are coffee enthusiast, entrepreneur or students who wants to learn about the different aspects of coffee at their own level.
UCC opened it's first branch here in the Philippines 18 years ago and they wanted to share to the Filipinos their knowledge and love for coffee.
They offer different courses for students and their Japanese influenced coffee education will be handles by their coffee guru. Which is their master craft.
We were able to attend the Fundamentals of Coffee Crop to Cup by Mr. Robert Francisco Managing Director of UCC Coffee Academy. He showed us the process of harvesting coffee bean from their farm. The different types of methods in preparing the beans before it reaches our cup.
Now I understand why their coffee is costly because of the procedure.
