Bo’s Coffee heading for a century

Bo’s Coffee has opened its 97th store in the Philippines, at the NorthDrive mall in Mandaue City, Cebu.

Leading up to the opening, the Cebu brand organised a tasting session through Philippine Coffee Origins, says brand and marketing manager Toni Santos. This featured five locally harvested beans, from Batangas and Sagada in the Mountain Province, Mt Kitanglad in Bukidnon, Mt Apo in Davao and Mt Matutum in Cotabato. Store coach Serah Amor Samson showed how the manual brewing or pour-over session is done.

Bo’s Coffee operations VP Ivy Theresa Benatiro says the company hopes to end the year with a 100th store in Intramuros, Manila. Meanwhile, its first two international stores will open in Qatar before November.
