The Legendary Rice Coffee

Ilocano's favorite coffee was not the expensive brewed coffee or the quick 3-1 coffee.

Think of coffee in Ilocandia and you will come to the traditional rice blend coffee. The coffee that was produced from rice milled grains that was charcoaled and pulverized and then mixed in the boiling several minutes. The sweets could be the muscovado or you may choose the sugarcane candy called "balikutsa".

Remembering the old coffee was the grandmother who wakes up very early in the morning, gather firewood and cooked the rice until it turn as very black or charcoal consequently pulverizing it.

But comes the new age was also the forgetting of this tradition of morning. Because of the instant coffee and the famous coffee shop and chain.



Thanks goodness to the town of Galimuyod, Ilocos Sur, Philippines who made this coffee as their One Town One Product or OTOP. The Galimuyod Rice Blend Coffee brings back the memory of every morning.No need to make your morning coffee because it is now in pouch and sachet.

Surely our childhood memories will once again be relive as we sip to this aromatic rice coffee.
