Aldrin Lumaban champions Filipino baristas at the Thaifex Celebrity Coffee Bar.
To some, coffee is just coffee. But to real coffee lovers, coffee is not just that drink in the morning that makes you come alive and gives you a better personality. It’s about aromas and depth of flavor … kind of like wine. To connoisseurs, it is also about origin, say how beans from Sumatra may differ from beans from Batangas. And for real nerds, there’s that guessing game of what flavors you are reminded of in each cup: Whether it’s vanilla or orange or even nail polish.
Cupping
I stood extremely fascinated at a coffee “cupping session” that happened at the Thaifex last month. Thaifex World Food of Asia is the largest food expo in Asia with 2,537 exhibitors, participants from 41 countries and foot traffic estimated at over 60,000 people.
