Mabini Ubuan

Mabini Ubuan is one of the most decorated coffee producers in the Philippines, with multiple championship harvests to his name, over the last decade.

Ecological conditions, precise methodology, and remarkable human organisation have established his village cooperative in San Elias, Sigay, Ilocos Sur as leaders in Filipino specialty Robusta.

For another season, we share their story of localisation, northern identity, quality, and Filipino resourcefulness—encapsulated in a delicious coffee.
