Try new ways to enjoy your coffee this summer!

Iced Coffee with Citrus Twist

This refreshing drink combines the bold flavor of Batangas coffee with the brightness of citrus fruit — an unexpected pairing that works beautifully.

What You Need

  • 15g Cafe de Lipa coffee (French Press grind)
  • 360ml hot water
  • Ice
  • Fresh citrus (orange, calamansi, or lemon)
  • Sweetener of choice

Steps

  1. Brew your coffee using a French Press — 15g coffee to 360ml water, steep for 5 minutes
  2. Place ice in an empty glass
  3. Add a small dash of your favorite citrus juice (keep it subtle!)
  4. Pour the hot coffee over the ice
  5. Add sweetener to taste
  6. Stir gently and enjoy

Pro Tips

  • Use acidic fruits (calamansi, lemon, orange) — they complement coffee's natural acidity
  • Don't overdo the citrus — a small dash is enough
  • Try our Dark Side roast for the boldest contrast with the citrus brightness

The perfect afternoon pick-me-up for hot Batangas summers.
