Greenfield District, Mandaluyong to host two-day festival and the Origami Cup Philippines 2026 national brewing competition, September 5–6, 2026
MANDALUYONG CITY — Coffee, matcha, and the art of the perfect pour come together for one irresistible weekend as the Origami Coffee + Matcha Fest arrives at Greenfield District, Mandaluyong, from September 5 to 6, 2026.
Hosted by Toyo Specialty Coffee + Matcha, the two-day festival brings together cafés, roasters, brewers, and matcha enthusiasts under one roof. A weekend built around intention, craft, and community, shared over a good cup. Guests are invited to connect, discover new flavors, and celebrate the culture behind every pour.
The Art at the Heart of It: Origami
Sitting at the center of the festival is origami — inspired by the Japanese art of paper-folding. The now-iconic Origami Dripper is handcrafted from Mino porcelain in Gifu Prefecture, a region shaped by more than 400 years of ceramic tradition. Loved by home brewers and used on the world’s biggest competition stages, the dripper has become a symbol of the precision, patience, and quiet artistry that define specialty coffee — and it sets the tone for everything the festival represents.
The Road to Tokyo: Origami Cup Philippines 2026
Running alongside the festival on September 6 is the Origami Cup Philippines 2026, the main event for competitors. The country’s finest brewers go head-to-head in a single, intense day of competition showcasing skill, technique, and creativity in pursuit of the national title.
The stakes are high: the winner earns the chance to represent the Philippines at the Origami World Cup 2027 in Japan, competing against the best brewers from around the globe — a rare opportunity to put Filipino specialty coffee, and Filipino barista talent, on the world stage.
Whether you’re a seasoned competitor, a café owner, or simply someone who loves watching craft in motion, the Origami Cup Philippines 2026 promises to be one of the most thrilling parts of the weekend.
What to Expect
Across the two-day festival, guests can look forward to specialty coffee and matcha booths from over 30 local and specialty brands, hands-on brewing experiences, live competition action, and plenty of homegrown flavor and creativity on display. It’s a weekend for coffee people, matcha people, and everyone still deciding which team they’re on. Grab a cup, find a seat by the competition stage, and become part of the community as the country’s best brewers chase a spot for Tokyo.
