Philippine Liberica, endangered species
A unique and irreplaceable part of our worldwide coffee heritage, Liberica is an entirely separate species of coffee. Its almond-shaped beans have an exceptional aroma, almost floral and fruity, while its flavor is full and slightly smokey. We guarantee you have never tasted anything like this rare and exotic coffee.
Liberica is a vanishing species of coffee that is only now being brought back from the brink of extinction, and your purchase supports conservation of both the coffee and the forests where it grows.
Sometimes we have to get our precious, dwindling supply via airplane. Scarcity and transportation expense have forced us to raise the price of Liberica. This price represents the real, honest cost of this rare bean. The import shipping alone costs us $15 per kilo these days!
Now, more than ever, your purchase of Liberica is saving the entire species from extinction. Help us protect coffee biodiversity and preserve this irreplaceable part of our world's coffee heritage!
8 ounce roasted coffee, Medium Roast.
We are sad to say that after 6 months of having Liberica in stock, we are now very low. We are offering only the Liberica blend, the delicious and unique Barako Blend, here.

Excellent coffee
I wanted to try Liberica coffee, and I'm pleased with it; good rich coffee taste, very smooth with no bitterness.

It's unique.
Has a taste of licorice. Totally unlike any other coffee I've ever tasted, hard to do it justice by describing it. Also cheaper than any arabica I've seen in a grocery store despite being an endangered variety, yeah "supply chain issues" my ass.

Superb. So smooth.
This coffee is wonderful on its own, but it's also a great bean to experiment with and blend with other coffee, such as the Kopi Luwak, plus the Legendee Classic (Creative 8). I plan to try it with the Saigon Gold as well.
The Liberica is such great coffee. I hope that Len's Coffee can continue to sell it!Posted by Michelle on Jul 2nd 2022

First time trying Filipino coffee
As a Filipino, I never knew how rare their coffee really was. Lens Coffee's website is amazing for people who want to know more about coffee and what they are drinking. Liberica is incredible and once I run out (which will be soon) I will buy more. I drink my coffee black and this coffee is a must have before you start the day. I will come back for more!

Hands-down the best!
Ever since I moved to the US, I had not been able to find the same strong flavor, richness and oomph as the coffee we have back home. I gave up trying to find alternatives and started searching for barako suppliers online when I came across Len’s. You are a life saver! Not only do I actually enjoy every cup of coffee I make, I feel like I’m being hugged from home. All the memories, good times, family love - it’s just pure comfort in a cup. Thank you for making this special coffee available on this side of the world. Truly grateful!

miracle cure
Since my wife and I started drinking barako, our blood sugar levels have gone down to the point where our doctors have taken us off our diabetic medication

The Araku Valley of India
India's coffee tradition goes back 400 years or more, when a variety called Kent was first established in the Southern Hills. Arabicas predominated until the blight of 1870, when growers needed to hybridize to resistant varieties. The resultant strains had genes from Liberica and other unique, resistant species.
