Featured Flavors
Candy Cane Matcha
A cool & cozy holiday twist on your daily matcha ritual
Candy Cane Matcha brings together smooth ceremonial-grade matcha with refreshing peppermint and a touch of vanilla sweetness. It's bright, festive, and lightly creamy - the kind of cup that feels instantly cheerful. The mint lifts the earthy matcha flavor without overpowering it, creating a balanced sip that tastes like holiday calm in a cup.
Tasting Notes: Cool peppermint | Soft vanilla sweetness | Earthy Matcha
Fireside Matcha
Sweet, warm, and quietly nostalgic - matcha made for slow winter days.
Fireside matcha layers the earthy richness of matcha with toasted marshmallow flavor, creating a creamy and cozy blend that feels like settling in beside a fireplace. The sweetness is warm rather than sugary, rounding out the matcha's natural umami for a mellow, comforting cup. It's the perfect choice for anyone who wants a festive flavor that leans soft and soothing rather than bold.
Tasting Notes: Toasted marshmallow | Vanilla warmth | Gentle matcha creaminess
Spiced Ginger Cookie Coffee
A holiday bakery aroma with the comfort of a homemade treat
Our Spiced Ginger Cookie Coffee blends smooth roasted coffee with cozy notes of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. It tastes like the first bite of a soft holiday cookie - warm spices, rounded sweetness, and a comforting aroma that fills the room. Whether brewed hot or poured over ice, this blend delivers that perfect "fresh from the oven" energy all season long.
Tasting Notes: Ginger spice | Cinnamon & Nutmeg warmth | Vanilla sweetness
Merry & Bright Coffee
A festive, fruity-meets-chocolate blend that truly lives up to its name.
Merry & Bright Coffee combines tart cranberry notes with velvety cocoa for a cup that's both vibrant and smooth. The cranberry adds a touch of brightness and holiday sparkle, while the cocoa grounds the blend with a rich, comforting depth. The result is a balanced, berry-forward coffee with a soft chocolate finish - a flavor that feels cheerful, celebratory, and wonderfully unique.
Tasting Notes: Bright cranberry | Rich cocoa | Subtle winter spice
