STEEP® Coffee Bags is a new genius way of brewing coffee. Preparing a cup of coffee should be easy and convenient. That’s why we created a product that can produce Coffee Shop-style coffee without the need for anything more than boiling water.

The brand provides a range of coffee blends, sourced in the Philippines. It costs less than other conventional methods of preparing coffee and we believe that quality and convenience must go hand in hand and should not be limited by location.

STEEP® uses biodegradable coffee bags, which are thin to provide good flow of water inside when brewing. We use local roasted beans to provide rich, freshly brewed coffee in each cup. We deliver the taste, aroma and convenience you expect from Coffee Shops on every cup.

STEEP is committed to improving the lives in our local communities!

Located at Cainta, Rizal, we employ and empower underprivileged mothers who carefully hand-pack our coffee bags.

STEEP® promotes and uses Philippine homegrown coffee.

The Coffee Bag idea is simple but it’s very clever. First thing in the morning all you need is a cup of boiling water and a coffee bag, it takes only 2-4 minutes to brew coffee! Steeping time would depend on how strong you want your coffee.

STEEP® Coffee bags showcase Filipino Coffee in its Philippine Heritage Coffee Collection. We also use Local coffee in all of its blended coffee.

The Philippines has good quality coffee. Remember that we used to be the 4^th largest exporter of coffee back in 1880. I believe that our Philippine Coffee Industry still has a big future ahead.

When I brewed coffee applying the old school method of using cheesecloth as filter, rubber bands, a mug and a pot of boiling water, it took me around 10 minutes to brew a cup. I realized that it was time consuming and you needed much effort to prepare a single cup of coffee. This lead me to the idea of creating a new method of brewing coffee that provides consumers a “no hassle and only pure convenience” way without sacrificing the quality that premium coffee shops provide.”

Why wash a coffee pot when you can just throw a fertilizer?

can just place a deodorizer on your shower room?

The funds raised will be used to produce our new line, French Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Peppermint, excess money will be used for Laboratory Tests and R&D.

STEEP Coffee Bags already has prototypes of French Vanilla, Peppermint and Salted Caramel, if this project is successfully funded, we are confident that we will be able to fulfill all rewards by November 2016.

I single-handedly sustained my enterprise for the year. This experience enabled me to establish a strong and healthy network of 4 suppliers, 2000 + individual customers, 12 retailers and 5 affiliated organizations which hopefully can help scale the enterprise.
