Rules that apply here

The Philippine rules for food establishments require that the water used for tea, coffee and other instant drinks is safe and potable, which matters for cafés that serve them. For coffee makers and grinders, the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act 7394) sets minimum warranty standards: a warrantor must remedy a defective consumer product, and implied warranties on consumer products last at most one year. Ask the seller to confirm the warranty term in writing before you pay.

Climate and freshness

The Philippines is tropical, hot all year, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Iced coffee, cold brew and iced tea therefore sell in every month, and there is no single peak to order ahead for. What the climate changes is freshness: damp air is hard on ground coffee and loose tea, so buy the amount you will drink within a few weeks and keep it in an airtight container.

How coffee and tea are bought here

Listings show weights in both grams and ounces (500 g, 12 oz), so write the weight in grams in your request and say whether you want whole beans, ground coffee, loose leaf or tea bags. Prices are in pesos (₱). Name the city you want delivery to, such as Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City or Davao City, and check with the seller that they deliver there.

What to write in the request

Say which product you want, the roast or variety, the brand if you have one, and the quantity. Add your brewing method, such as espresso, a French press or cold brew, because it decides the grind. Also say whether this is a one-off order or a regular delivery, and your budget in pesos. The more you state, the closer the offers will be to what you need.
