You start to notice the details. The packaging is considered, often stripped back, often black, but never boring. It feels deliberate. It feels sharp. It reflects a community that genuinely cares about taste, not just in coffee, but in everything around it.

This is the second edition of the Coffee Festival at The Campus, and it has grown to twice its size. It is led by Thomas from Ghostbird, a long-time partner and the mind behind Ghostbird Coffee Company, one of Kuala Lumpur’s most respected specialty coffee roasters, known for making great coffee accessible while staying deeply rooted in craft and community. 

What makes this collaboration work is simple. It comes from the same place. Passion first, ego second. Everything built with care, and importantly, built in Malaysia.

For the first time, Nala steps into this world in a different way. We are going all in on black for the weekend, a shift that mirrors the mood and the aesthetic of the festival itself.

We are also opening up our space. Visitors can get their coffee, ideally from Ghostbird, and then come and sit at Nala. It becomes part of the experience. A place to pause, to reset, to enjoy the festival from a different angle.

We have created 50 exclusive T-shirts for the weekend. Once they are gone, they are gone. They will only be available at Kasturi.

There will also be small gestures throughout the festival. With every coffee purchase from Ghostbird, a limited edition sticker will be given, while stocks last.

The festival runs from Friday to Sunday. It is best to come early. Parking will be limited, so taking a Grab is recommended.

It is one of those weekends where everything aligns. People, product, and purpose, all in the same place.
