Coffee Farmer, Ilocos Sur

At 38 years old, Ginalyn Gonzalo continues a family legacy of coffee farming passed down from her grandparents. She grew up surrounded by coffee trees, many of which were planted generations before her and are still being harvested today.

Her journey toward more serious coffee farming began when she learned about the Philippine Coffee Quality Competition (PCQC). Although she couldn’t join at first due to limited harvest, the rising value of coffee inspired her to dedicate more effort to farming. Ginalyn Gonzalo PCQC 2024 is naturally processed and crafted for filter brewing, it carries the comforting sweetness of milk chocolate layered with the nutty depth of roasted almond.
