Tala Food Features
As of October 9th at Libertyville, and for the entirety of Winnetka’s existence, we’ve had six distinct food items on our menu, each filled with great flavors and good protein. The menu came together with the efforts of our amazing production team, as well as a Lake Zurich vendor called Zelda’s Sandwich Joint.
La Bastilla: Jinotego, Nicaragua
La Bastilla, located in Jinotega, Nicaragua, is known for its deeply intentional and forward-thinking coffee production, and this coffee is a perfect example of their passion and focus.
Cordillera de Fuego: Tarrazu, Costa Rica
Cordillera de Fuego is an anaerobic processed coffeed where precision meets innovation. Handpicked at peak ripeness with a brix degree (a measurement of sugar content) near 26, mature cherries undergo meticulous depulping and fermentation in an oxygen-free environment. This unique process enhances the coffee's flavor with a blend of lactic and malic acids, defining its intricate cup profile. Finally, the coffee is sun-dried to perfection.
Finca Angamaza: Loja, Ecuador
Finca Angamaza—a coffee from producer Angel Capa Carrion in Ecuador that’s passionately both grown and processed at a very high elevation, truly making this coffee shine and sparkle with immense sweetness. It’s the kind of coffee that you will think back to later in the day, long after you have your last sip in the cup.
