Balai sa Baibai

"Balai sa Baibai is a play on the Bisayan translation of “house by the beach” coupled with the Thai concept of “Sabai-Sabai” which means to rest/relax/chill out. So, Balai sa Baibai means your home by the sea where you can sit back and relax. It is your extended family and home away from home in the Philippines."

"Balai sa Baibai is located directly at one of the very rare sandy beaches on Camiguin with a breathtaking view over the Bohol Sea and the famous White Island. A tropical Bali-style garden with beautiful flowers and palm trees are surrounding our 7 rooms and villas. To cool down after unforgettable hikes or sightseeing tours around the island, our main and infinity pools are the right choice.

The Journey

"Starbucks ® Single Origin Sulawesi Toraja."

Starbucks Origin Sulawesi Toraja. “Sweet, silky elegance with notes of black sesame and  marshmallows” The history of coffee in Indonesia began with a bit of intrigue. In 1690, Dutch traders smuggled coffee plants out of the Arab port city of Mocha, hoping to break the Arabian monopoly on coffee production. Their sailing ships eventually carried the seedlings over thousands of miles to Indonesia, then a Dutch colony. The coffee trees thrived in the archipelago’s rich volcanic soil and the warm tropical climate, and Indonesian coffees were soon being embraced in coffeehouses around the world. Three centuries later, Indonesia’s islands continue to produce some of the world’s most extraordinary coffees, each with its own terroir, or “taste of place.” The company has been collaborating with the island’s coffee growers since 1996 and helping build the Sapan Kindergarten in Tana Toraja. From the Indonesia’s orchid-shaped island of Sulawesi, coffee in the To

"Starbucks Ethiopia"

The story of coffee begins where the green coffee bean hidden in the red coffee cherry of the coffee tree , for some they call it magical, and no matter how it was jealously or greedily guarded neither merchants, queens, kings or priests could keep it from spreading throughout the earth. Sooner and later we are captured by its aroma, acidity, body and flavor. Just  like the history of coffee,my first encounter was unexpected,from the cold mountain side of Bukidnon. Back when I was a child, Ive tried harvesting those coffee cherries and not knowing that it was the start of my coffee journey. We washed it and dried the cherries under the striking sun of Malaybalay, we crushed the coffee cherries to release the hidden green seeds that was coffee bean. Now, I realize how magical the coffee made my journey up to this day. From the hills of Ethiopia to the Marinas of Seattle, people around the globe drink their wonderful cup of coffee and prepare it in their wonderf

Starbucks Christmas Blend and Christmas Blend Espresso Roast offer fresh twists on the classic recipe. The packaging tells the story of more than three decades of coffee passion and craft that has been a part of Starbucks tradition. When Starbucks first introduced Christmas Blend, it was packed into plain brown paper bags to be brewed at home. But as Starbucks transformed from a whole-bean retailer to a coffeehouse, its bags became vessels for visual storytelling starting with decorative adhesive stamps and later with high-tech packaging that uses a printed laminated film, called “­­rollstock,” with a FlavorLock™ se
