March Events
March always feels like the deep breath before the exhale. The light lingers a little longer, the air softens (just slightly), and we start emerging from full-on winter mode. After months of bundling up and keeping cozy, it finally feels like we’re stepping out of hibernation — and we’re celebrating the best way we know how: with coffee, community, and a lineup of events at Tala.
New Coffee Arrivals!
You have been patiently waiting to find out the big secret: what new coffees are arriving. We have been searching for some good options to add to our lineup this spring. In order to find the perfect coffees we cupped 14 different coffees from regions all over Africa and South America from multiple importers. Out of those 14 coffees, these 2 stood out among the rest.
Iced Cascara
With the warmer weather right around the corner its perfect time to get your iced tea game down. If you're looking for a twist on your regular iced tea routine look no further. Try using our cascara to make a cold spring beverage!
A Cafe in the Works
We are excited to officially announce that our first cafe will be in Highwood, IL opening in the spring of 2018.
Coffee Cocoa Frosting
This coffee frosting recipe will stop you in your tracks. It's decadent, rich, buttery and perfectly sweet. This frosting pairs well with chocolate or vanilla cake or cupcakes, and can even go beautifully with lots of other desserts like cookies, bars or--my personal favorite--straight from a spoon. There's really no way to lose.
Holiday Gift Guide
It's that time of year again! Everyone is searching for the perfect gift. But look no further for the coffee enthusiasts on your list this year. Check out this years holiday guide.
It's Happening!
Some of you have heard rumblings of a new coffee company. We're happy to tell you that it's happening! Our roastery is now fully operational and we're taking orders! First orders will be roasted and fulfilled on June 1st.
