Did you know that one of the best coffees (if not THE best) I've tasted is produced and roasted right here in the mountains of Bukidnon? That's right, MONK'S BLEND, a flavorful combination of robusta and arabica coffee beans, is grown by none other than the Benedictine Monks of the Monastery of Transfiguration, located just 20 minutes from the City of Malaybalay.
The Monastery was built 27 years ago and was designed by National Artist for Architecture, Leandro Locsin. It has long been a must-see attraction for tourists coming to the province and only recently (early 90s) did they begin producing their famous coffee for public consumption.
Well, according to my friend Bukidnon Online, Monk's Blend is now an export commodity to Macau!!!

Would you look at that? People from all over are already flocking to Bukidnon just to see the breath taking views, visit the chapel and feel the serenity of the place (and of course, smell the aroma of the coffee beans being roasted), but now, their products are being brought to the world. My heart swells with pride!
Before I end, another bit of trivia: Did you know that Selecta's Coffee Crumble Ice Cream uses Monk's Blend Coffee? =)
