Coffee Tonya has been well-loved since it opened in 2016, as it’s not your ordinary coffee shop. At first, you might think that it’s the name of a woman, but tonya is actually the Japanese word for “wholesale”.
Its concept is based on the idea of selling wholesale coffee beans. Through this, it has managed to capture the eyes and hearts of every coffee lover in the metro because of its exceptional services.

Wholesale Coffee and More
Unique to Coffee Tonya is its selection of about 50 different coffee beans sourced from around the world, including countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia, India, Haiti, and Mexico, to name a few. Philippine coffee beans are also available, including Barako, Benguet, and Bukidnon coffee.
These whole unroasted coffee beans are classified in terms of variety, country, level of acidity, bitterness, sweetness, body, and aroma.

What’s more, Coffee Tonya has its own roasting and grinding machine manufactured in Japan. Aside from wholesale coffee, you can customize your beans on the spot according to your preference in roast and grind.

The most popular degree of roast is the medium and high roast, which are both perfect for pour-over brewed coffee because of the low acidity components and good aroma. Other recommendations include the city and full city degree for pressed coffee, while French and Italian degrees are for espresso and iced coffee. After roasting, the beans are required to cool for some time before grinding.

Coffee beans differ in their grinding degrees as each distinct grind determines the flavor of the coffee. There are 17 degrees you can choose from for each brewing method you want.
