Situated by the busy street of M Paulino lies a blessing in disguise, Taza Mia, Home of the authentic Kape Barako beans. My belief is that coffee has more to its conventional use of inducing that morning boost and is an under-appreciated form of art in San Pablo, where people often associate it as a mainstream culture. When word got to me that Taza Mia opened nearer to my house amongst the block of offices in M Paulino, I instantly cleared up my schedule to pay a visit. Not only did I need to see this smaller more accessible branch, I also wanted to taste what set them above from the others.
As much as I wanted to order their in-house kape barako, I wanted something lighter like their latte as I didn’t want to pull an all nighter.
Additionally, it weighed in heavier on the milk which is great news for those who don’t do so well with caffeine. Not too bitter yet not too weak, the cup could be easily downed in seconds if you were an avid drinker like myself.
The fact that Taza Mia was full house on a Wednesday afternoon speaks volume about their food and service. The drink I tried boasted refined flavours, leaving me walking out the door feeling contented.
