Coffee. We drink the stuff on the daily. But, are we paying high or low prices? We hate to break it to you: according to a new study, coffee in the Philippines is on the high-ish end.
"Whether filtered or pressed, prepared with steamed milk, cardamom, liquor or sugar, and whether it’s pronounced cafe, koffee or qahwah, coffee is loved in every part of the globe," the study said. "It may be almost ubiquitous, but the cultures surrounding it are diverse. Understanding the world’s coffee habits and costs provides insight into local history, spiritual practices, and values."
