The Philippines knows this species already. Kapeng barako is Liberica. Ours is the Malaysian expression of the same tree: a single estate, clean processing, roasted so the species itself is what you taste. The three species, compared. The case for Liberica, in long form.

The Liberica we roast

Sarawak Liberica Long Banga Honey. Libex, a hybrid of Liberica and excelsa, from a single estate at Long Banga, 500 metres up in Sarawak's Marudi District. Honey-processed. Tangerine, brown sugar and milk chocolate, with coconut underneath, and a wide, low note arabica cannot reach. It is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilisers, so without glyphosate, on one small estate at Long Banga. The estate holds no organic certificate, and we say so.

Shipping to the Philippines

DHL or FedEx, typically three to five days once posted. Shipping from RM90, shown at checkout. Free when your order reaches RM400. RM50 from RM200. Any import duties or taxes are collected on arrival, per Philippine rules.

Roasted coffee is at its best from about three days to four weeks after roasting, so it arrives well inside its window, with the roast date printed on the tin.

The short answers

Is barako the same as Liberica?
Yes. Kapeng barako is the Filipino name for Liberica, mostly grown in Batangas and Cavite. Ours is a Malaysian single-estate lot of the same species, processed for clarity rather than roasted dark.

Can I buy Liberica coffee in the Philippines?
Yes. We ship our single-origin Malaysian Liberica to the Philippines, whole bean, roasted to order in Kuala Lumpur.

How does Malaysian Liberica differ from barako?
Same species, different origin and treatment. Barako is traditionally roasted dark. Our lot is processed and roasted to show the fruit and florality the species carries when it is handled gently.
