Flavor Pairing: Cold Brew with Coconut Milk & Sea Salt
You’re striding into your day with purpose. Emails? Handled. Calendar? Packed. But you’ve still got time to look sharp and sip slow.
Why it works:
Cold brew is your go-to because it’s bold, low-acid, and high-caffeine—perfect for powering through meetings or creative blocks. The coconut milk adds tropical calm, and a pinch of sea salt brings out your inner disruptor.

Flavor Pairing: Coquí Latte (Coconut Milk + Cinnamon Foam + Island Honey)
You’re not in a rush. You’re feeling poetic. Maybe journaling. Maybe people-watching. The world feels softer today, and you’re here to savor it.
Why it works:
Warm cinnamon feels like a hug. Coconut milk smooths the edges. And a drizzle of island honey adds a note of sweetness—like a whispered compliment from a stranger.

Flavor Pairing: Jungle Brew (Espresso, Smoked Cinnamon, Ghost Pepper Oil)
Some moods don’t sip—they roar. Today, you’re extra. You’re leading the group chat and the meeting. You didn’t wake up to blend in. You want flavor with fire.
Why it works:
This espresso-based drink delivers sharp energy with a slow, spicy kick that lingers just long enough to remind you who’s boss (spoiler: it’s you).

Flavor Pairing: Mango Matcha (w/ Dragonfruit Pearls & Hibiscus Float)
You’re riding a creative wave. You might be designing, writing, or just mentally redecorating your living room for the sixth time. It’s a playful, dreamy mood—and it deserves color.
Why it works:
Matcha energizes without the jitters, while mango and hibiscus bring tropical tang and visual pop. It’s the drink version of watercolor daydreaming.

Flavor Pairing: Iced Mocha with Smoked Sea Salt & Oat Milk
Some days are grayscale—but in a chic way. You’re introspective, quiet, mysterious. You might be writing poetry in your head while pretending to check your phone.
Why it works:
Bittersweet dark chocolate and smoked sea salt are for thinkers. Oat milk adds velvety texture and balance. You don’t want sweetness—you want depth.

Flavor Pairing: Iced Tropical Punch Tea with Mint & Pineapple Ice Cubes
You’re full of buzz—not the caffeine kind, the life kind. You’re texting five friends, planning brunch, and vibing with strangers. You’re basically sunshine with sunglasses.
Why it works:
Caffeine-free, but still energizing, this fruit-forward iced tea cools you down and keeps you glowing. Bonus: pineapple ice cubes are a whole moment.

Flavor Pairing: Warm Vanilla Coconut Steamer (No Caffeine)
You’ve got too many tabs open—physically and mentally. You need warmth, grounding, and a moment to breathe.
Why it works:
No caffeine, no sugar spike—just warm vanilla, steamed coconut milk, and a pinch of nutmeg. It’s the coffee shop version of turning off notifications.
