TALA Cafe Chronicles
Davao's Coffee Culture
Davao has long been the heart of Philippine coffee production, with its rich volcanic soil and ideal climate nurturing some of the world's finest beans. At Tala Cafe, we celebrate this heritage by sourcing directly from local farms in the highlands.
Our commitment goes beyond serving great coffee—we're part of a movement to preserve and elevate Davao's coffee culture. Through direct relationships with farmers, sustainable practices, and education, we're helping to write the next chapter of this storied tradition.
Every cup at Tala tells a story of place, passion, and people—a chronicle of Davao's enduring love affair with coffee.
