Mastercol - Terra: Huila, Colombia

Mastercol – Terra is our first fresh-crop coffee of the new year from Huila, Colombia, arriving after an exceptional run of standout Huila lots throughout 2025. It immediately caught our attention as a double-fermented, single-varietal Caturra from Mastercol—one of our most trusted producer groups and long-term partners since 2017. This is a coffee that feels both familiar and exciting, building on everything we love about the region while offering a renewed sense of vibrancy.

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.

It’s an incredibly balanced and refined “union” of flavors that are sure to please any palette.

Timana: Huila, Colombia

While cupping through many samples, this coffee stood out to us for its clarity and simplicity of flavors. Memorable notes of chocolates, sweet peanut butter, and red apple make this one tasty and approachable coffee that will shine no matter how you brew it. If this coffee were a type of dog, it would be a Golden Retriever because of its reliability and easy to love nature. Timana: man’s best friend.
