Luzon Coffee Company is a private initiative started in 2019 as an arm of Organic Options Inc. The organization aims to create a future for Philippine coffees farmed and processed to the highest specialty coffee standards.
Excellent coffee grows with the forest, not against it.
It is our goal to increase production and availability of all Philippine-grown coffee.
Over the last 5 years, Luzon has been slowly iterating every harvest and improving our techniques, output and relationships with the local indigenous peoples with whom we farm the coffee.
We’re proud to have developed a system that creates great coffees that are fully organic and rainforest/ reforestation grown, while also addressing the day to day livelihood needs of the indigiounous people who live and own the mountains.
Arabica, Liberica, Robusta… We love ALL Coffee!

Why did you name it “Luzon?”
For starters, that’s the name of the island we live on, and the home of our first growing area, mills, and drying stations. There’s a much longer reason as to why we love this name, and you can read about it on the article linked below.
