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.
