Aklan Coffee Community

24/04/2026

Thank you DTI Aklan for giving us the chance to showcase Aklanon coffee from Malinao.

We are proud to share that for the first time in the trade fair’s history, we were able to sell out all the beans. This is only made possible with everyone’s efforts, specifically our farmers, Ma’am Iris Ibisate - Sarabia of DTI Aklan, and our Champion Brewers Sir Anthony Lalisan Moreno and Von Bryant. ♥️☕️🙏

🌱☕ Aklan is brewing something big!

Out of 16 competitors in the upcoming Capiztahan Manual Brewing Competition of Capiz Coffee Community, 5 are proudly from Aklan — that’s almost a third of the entire lineup! 🔥💪

This is more than just numbers. It’s a reflection of a growing community, shared passion, and the relentless pursuit of better coffee across Aklan.

From cafes to competitions, Aklan is showing up — and we’re just getting started. 🚀

Let’s continue to support Sir Anthony Lalisan Moreno, Von Bryant, Bing Inaba India, Jam and Ian and uplift our local brewers as they represent our province on the big stage! 💛
