About Taisha Estrada:
Rooted in the traditions of Latin and American jazz, with an innovative, contemporary, multi-genre sound, Puerto Rican born Taisha Estrada is a compelling songwriter and storyteller. Taisha engages audiences through her lyrics and dynamic stage performance. Her musical projects have been featured in the Washington Post and NPR’s Tiny Desk show, and she has performed at such venues as Blues Alley, Strathmore, Songbyrd and Union Stage.
Taisha released her debut album of original songs, Nostalgia Ajena (Foreign Nostalgia) on April 22, 2023, reflecting her roots in the Caribbean. The songs are influenced by her upbringing with grandparents who felt a strong devotion to la patria, their homeland and the sounds of bomba and plena which coursed through Estrada’s veins from a young age. Inspired by her own experiences and the stories of the women she grew up around, Estrada’s tone, though tinged with melancholy, evokes hope and strength. Having developed a deep appreciation for nature and the sensory experience of the Caribbean, Estrada’s music and lyrics are colored with imagery of the islands. Her work strives to explore life, love and the beautiful yet mystifying relationship between humanity and the earth.

Today we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Open Seas Coffee Roasters . This collaboration is a true partnership going back several months and blend sessions in their Stevensville, Maryland roastery. Together we perfected our new signature Tryst Blend, balancing notes of caramel, chocolate and allspice, sourced through Open Seas’ direct relationship with farmers and producers in Honduras, Nicaragua and Sumatra. Over the next several weeks we’ll be sharing more about the process of crafting “interconnected, intentional and quality driven coffee”.
