Now brewing in Manila: Di Bella Coffee
Customers of Cravings, The Coffee Beanery, Lombardi’s, Lucia, Epicurious, B&P, The Blackboard by Chef Michel and Wicked can now enjoy coffee from the Australian brand Di Bella.
The Cravings Group recently partnered with Brisbane-based Di Bella Coffee, which is known for its sustainable farming.
“It’s a match,” said Phillip di Bella, Di Bella Coffee’s managing director and founder. “I believe that our ‘From Crop to Cup’ philosophy is totally compatible with Cravings’ sustainable green practices, as we want more than just bringing coffee beans. We also want to contribute to the growing coffee drinking industry in the Philippines.”
Badjie Trinidad, chief executive officer of The Cravings Group, for her part said: “During one of our visits in Melbourne, we had the chance to meet Phillip and we were delighted with his beginnings and rise to become Australia’s Coffee King. But what was more fulfilling to know is that his business has helped improve the lives of many coffee farmers around the world, and that we hope to create the same positive impacts to Filipino coffe farmers, which is is very much willing to share.”
