Coffee Creations, A One of a Kind Coffee Experience

Why do you think cafe's keep popping up on every street corners?

Beyond the aroma and taste, there are scientific accounts that would prove benefits of drinking coffee.  As a self-confessed coffee-lover, I go beyond the normal task of enjoying a cup of coffee every single morning of my life, I went from one coffee shop to another and engaged myself in trying out third wave coffee.  Maybe you would ask me why would I go that far just for coffee.

Coffee appreciation comes from knowing how a dark-earthy smelling powder ends up amalgamated on a scalding water.  If you think making a cup of 3-in-1 coffee is as easy as popping a chocolate in your mouth, guess again.  From (#beantocup)a bean to your cup doesn't just happen in a snap of a finger, there are series of processes and lot of farmer's lives are at stake.

Today, I learned even more about coffee and I'm just as excited as all of the coffee-lovers who came in unison at Megaworld Lifestyle Malls and Newport Mall at Resorts World Manila's event dubbed as Coffee Creations.

Those who knew of the event promotions and have come were able to partake coffee in delicious new ways.
