Starbucks coffee, Coffee bean, Caffe Nativo, and different
coffee shops. These are only few popular and favorite places of people
especially of the teen agers when we want to get relax and chill out on
weekends. But for your information, my home town is known as the “Coffee
Capital of the Philippines”. Amadeo is a small town in Cavite wherein more than
80 percent of the land area are planted with coffee that’s why it is known as
the coffee capital. Amadeo abounds in Liberica, Robusta, Excelsia, and Arabica beans
which helped save the booming local industry.
Amadeo has its own festival called “Pahimis Festival”
wherein it celebrate during February with different programs and activities for
all of the “amadeans”. This festival promotes Cavite coffee for domestic and
worldwide consumption, revive the farmers interest in coffee farming, and
enhance the coffee yields.
With regards to festival activities, it includes street
dancing competitions, thanks giving mass, cultural presentations, and even free
coffee with diferrent stations.
Our home town is such a small town but have a lot of
meaningful creatures. People in Amadeo are so thoughtful and generous wherein
every morning when they caught you walking along the street, they will tend to
shout at you to take coffee first before going to farm. Aside of having a cold
weather, our town also has an array of boutique resorts and quaint cafes which
can make a visit to Amadeo as relaxing as a coffee break.
