Tahip — Chocolate from the Bukidnon Highlands
A small-batch cacao and coffee project making Filipino tableya, cacao nibs, and eventually coffee from named farms in Bukidnon, Mindanao.
Field notes
Tahip describes a farm-to-cup process centered on Malaybalay City in Bukidnon: cacao is fermented and dried on named farms, then roasted in small batches. Its tableya is pressed into pastilles for whisking into hot water or milk, while nibs are roasted, cracked, and winnowed. The page says lots carry the farm, harvest year, and fermentation days, and proposes single-tree lots when one tree can supply a batch. Coffee and instructional films are listed as forthcoming.
