What is inside

The base is a chocolate-leaning Guatemala cold brew. The top layer is organic heavy cream mixed with house-made fig leaf syrup, then finished with a little lime zest on top for aroma.

Cold brew base

The cold brew keeps the drink grounded, smooth, and coffee-forward, with a darker Guatemala profile that sits on the chocolate side.

Cream-top layer

Organic heavy cream and fig leaf syrup create a soft top that tastes like caramel and honey, with an aroma that can remind you of key lime pie.

Best way to drink

Sip from the top without a straw and without mixing. The first sips should pass through the cream top before the cold brew underneath.

How it feels

It is creamy, aromatic, and cold, but not heavy. The drink feels like a cream top cold brew with a pastry-like finish, while the lime zest keeps it bright.
