The Sitio Kisbong mill was born in 2019, through a partnership between Filipino coffee brand Bo’s Coffee and 14 farmer-families who expressed a willingness to run a mill of their own. Kisbong is approximately 17 kilometers from the central Belis mill and sits on the only flat area in the community.

Our very first purchase of green beans from Benguet actually came from Sitio Kisbong in 2014. Back then, only a couple of farmers could produce 35 to 50 kilos of green beans with unpredictable levels of quality. Now, with its on-location mill, Sitio Kisbong is able to produce at least two tons of specialty grade coffee every harvest.
