Talisman Coffee expands to South Austin with coffee trailer

“We’re also experimenting with signature drinks inspired by Nicaraguan flavors and the beverages we grew up enjoying,” Barker said.

What’s special about it?

Barker said the family operates its own 35-acre farms in the mountains of Matagalpa, Nicaragua where its beans are natural and honey-processed, shade grown, hand-picked, naturally pressed and slow dried.

“After each harvest, our parents send the green beans to us here in Austin, where Fernando roasts them weekly in small batches, ensuring consistency and freshness,” Barker said. “We’re proud to be a true seed-to-cup business. It’s a family effort, rooted in tradition, care and a deep respect for the coffee-growing process.”

What else?

In addition to its coffee trailer the business operates a brick-and-mortar location on Manor Road.
