July Residency at Fellows Experience Center ☕🇵🇭
We're excited to continue our July residency at both Fellows Experience Center locations:
📍 Fellow Venice (LA)
1342 1/2 Abbot Kinney Blvd
Venice, CA 90291
📍 Fellow San Francisco
820 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA 94110
This month's featured coffee is Bold Barako – Philippines.
Bold Barako celebrates Philippine coffee heritage by bringing together two coffee species that have been cultivated across the islands for generations. Built on a foundation of specialty-grade Benguet Arabica and complemented by Philippine Liberica (Barako), this blend showcases both the diversity and history of Philippine coffee.
While Arabica and Robusta dominate global coffee production, Liberica represents less than 2% of the world's coffee supply, making it one of the rarest commercially grown coffee species. The Philippines remains one of the few countries where Liberica continues to play a meaningful role in coffee culture and agriculture.
