Torre is a sitio in a mining area in Itogon Benguet. Coffee growing is a welcome change from mining. The community realizes the ill effects of mining and how it has dried up their water resources and eradicated their beautiful mountains. With proper care and understanding of growing coffee, Torre Arabica breathes new life for the community and is their new ‘black gold’. Young 3rd generation individual farmers’ estates.
