Our Story
Nestled in the rolling hills of Pontevedra, Capiz on the island of Panay, Philippines, Auntie Tina’s Farm is home to Capiz Coffee Roasters (CCR). Established in 2020, local farmers planted 2,500 robusta coffee seedlings on 2 hectars of Capiz farm land. Blessed with rich soil, the seedlings thrived and within only a couple of years they began showing promise of their fruit offerings. A reminder of God’s abundance and provision to mankind. Just how Auntie Tina preciously appreciated and shared with those she loved during her time with us (*you can read more about Auntie Tina in the section below).
Today, CCR proudly hand picks coffee enforcing best farming practices on our organic farm. Handcrafted coffee for a pure experience of the unique flavors of our soil as we share what we do, for the love of what we do.
In 2024, Capiz Coffee Roasters USA, is now making it’s way to the United States by way of Taylors, South Carolina. With expansion plans of sharing roasted specialty coffees from all over Asia, CCR sources the best coffee from farms carefully selected to be part of what we do.

We invite you to take a journey with us and discover another world of specialty coffee from Asia.
Meet Auntie Tina
A loving wife, a precious mother of two sons, Kaipo and Kobe, and most of all a Christian woman, Tina’s testimony and legacy lives on with us. She became affectionately known as “Auntie
Tina” amongst her children’s friends while working as a school nurse in Guam. The school children loved her dearly while many of them considered her as their second mom. After losing her 14 year fight to a rare condition in 2020, Tina went home to be at the righthand side of our good Lord. Much of her time here was spent simply enjoying picking fruits from fruit trees appreciating how God always provides. She is known for sharing God’s love with those she had met. Though she physically suffered, she was always smiling and never complained as she found her strength and comfort in her savior. The coffee farm is the embodiment of her dream.
Capiz Coffee Roasters selects handcrafted, fresh, specialty green beans from local farmers of Asia. Even our roasts are fresh. Our small batch roast concept enables us to provide the best experience when it comes to our coffee.
“We want to give our customers crisp, savory, fruity and other delicious flavor profiles only attained by way of handpicked coffee fruit from select farms. Most of all, we want to expand people’s palates and showcase that roasted Asian specialty coffee is indeed another world appreciate. “
