All About the Tayst | Single-Serve Coffee Goes Eco-Friendly

by Cristina Deptula

It all starts with the bean, the people who grow it, and the soil it is sown. We only select the finest beans from some of the most fertile soil on the planet, giving our beans the roasted coffee flavors only the Gods have dreamt. Our perfectionist roasters coddle the beans every step of the way until the grindmaster crushes and grinds them to the perfect feel to properly extract the flavors into your cup. We know, sounds like poetry right!

Tayst Coffee, a small business with the goal of eco-sustainability, explains the high standards to which they hold themselves and their roasted beverages. “We’re taking strides in changing the world’s perspective on single serve coffees. Because it’s convenient doesn’t mean it has to taste crappy. We’re using innovation to make single serve coffee great.”

Many people love the variety of flavors and the convenience of single serve Keurig or Nespresso coffee, but regret the waste the cups create. An average home goes through about 60 single use cups a month while offices can use up to 1000 cups.

Tayst Coffee has created a line of compostable cups made from organic resin and compressed corn starch. Their founders say the cup design leads to a smoother and better-tasting cup of coffee.

Unlike the punch hole most single serve cups use, our mesh filter allows for even water filtration, producing fuller flavors and smoother mouth feel.

Tayst’s coffee comes in several dramatic flavors, including Bold and Brazen, Medium and Magnificent, Vintage Vanilla, Happy Hazelnut, and Defiantly Decaf. They’ve selected these as their favorites after tasting over 1000 varieties of coffee, and they feel these flavors represent their brand and style.

Tayst drinker Jaime G. says proudly on the Tayst website, “Better than Starbucks, less bitter than Dunkin’, bold, earthy, rich but not overpowering. Very reminiscent of a fresh cup of french press-- from a Keurig!”

A reviewer at The Daily Meal says of Tayst, “On top of its environmental benefits the pods brew a rich and flavorful cup of coffee. Tayst offers two dark, and two medium roasts, a decaf, and a naturally flavored vanilla coffee. Each different roast offers a unique flavor profile ranging from smoky cocoa to fruity mocha.”
