Don’t worry, there is no reason to be intimidated, it’s pretty darn simple. So gather your ingredients, decide if you’re making them the night before or morning of and get the coffee brewing to make sure you have something to sip while you bake!

A case for the Aeropress!

I brought the AeroPress camping with me and everything changed. After seeing how the AeroPress preformed in the outdoors with bladders of water and minimal equipment, I am never going back. All of the things I mentioned above came into play again but even more so. I didn’t have to worry about breaking it as we tried to fit our cooking gear, cloths, tent and sleeping set up snugly into our packs.

Lavender Lemon 75

Valentine’s day is perfectly romantic, and while some may say it’s a hallmark holiday, we could never oppose a good excuse to mix up some cocktails and spend time with the one who makes us smile the most. This year we wanted to have some fun and make a drink that characterizes all the romance and charm of Valentine’s day as we know it. This cocktail is bubbly, floral-y, and definitely fun! So get out your shaker and jigger and favorite coupe glasses and follow along!

Kamwangi AA: Kirinyaga, Kenya

Coffees from Burundi have long been a favorite of the Tala Team for the unique flavors that seldom are seen in coffees from any other African region. Where a lot of other African regions tend to be full of brighter citrus fruits, we love Burundi’s for their deeper, richer fruited tones closest to dried and cooked fruits. This one is exactly that and tasting like sweet dried golden raisin, dried apricot, date, fig, goji berry, that are all wrapped up in a lavender essenced gift basket. Trust us, this is a gift basket you’re going to want to keep receiving.

Gesha Cold Brew

We recently launched our first coffee in our Tala Truest line: the Israel Hernandez Gesha from Tolima, Colombia. As much as we’ve been loving it hot, the thought occurred to us to conduct a wild experiment. It came in a stroke of genius—the kind of genius that seems hyperbolic at first—and we quickly realized it might actually work. We made cold brew with the Gesha, a bold move none of us have seen from the specialty industry before. The result? Amazing. So we’re going to share! This limited-edition cold brew will be sold in bottles in our cafe and be available for Neighborly delivery to local customers.

Los Ancestros: Huehuetenango, Guatemala

This coffee simply put, tastes like everything we love about the fall season. It’s loaded with brown sugar, caramel, and candied pecan sweetness, soft and ripe pear and apple, as well as warm and cozy cocoa. It pairs perfectly with a hayrides, pumpkin carving, apple picking, and bonfires.

San Diego Mills: Tarrazu, Costa Rica

We love this coffee because it really embodies the transition of the last of the summer turning into fall. Fresh and ripe fruit flavors of raspberry, cherry, passion fruit, and guava on the front end of each sip transition and finish with warm and comforting flavors of praline and milk chocolate. This uniquely sweet coffee is perfect for cool mornings as well as warm afternoons.
