Looking back at Day 1 of the Negros Occidental Coffee Fiesta 2025

It was a day where the aroma of coffee blended with the warmth of community — farmers, roasters, café owners, and coffee lovers all coming together to celebrate and connect. Our theme, Bridging the Gap from Producers to Consumers, was felt in every conversation, every smile, and every shared cup.

Grateful to everyone who joined us in making the first day a beautiful start to this celebration of Negros coffee. Here’s to more bridges built and more cups shared. 💛
