COFFEE, ESPRESSO, TEA & DRINKS

Drip coffee is well suited to savoring the specific flavors and aroma of our single-origin coffees.

This drink is simply half brewed coffee and half steamed milk and is meant to be enjoyed with the thinnest layer of foam possible. It is important to keep the ratio of milk to coffee appropriate so as not to overpower the coffee.

One shot of espresso prepared with 14 grams of ground coffee in a double portafilter.

Double espresso with a touch of foam. Macchiato means spotted or stained; the espresso is "stained" with foam. This can be made as a single or a double.

A touch of hot fresh water and a double shot pulled long. This creates a nice bold, strong coffee taste. The espresso shot is pulled atop the hot water to ensure the consistency of the crema.

1/3 espresso, 2/3 steamed milk, & a thin layer of foam. A cafe latte should have the same glossy finish as the cappuccino.

Espresso con panna, which means "espresso with cream" in Italian, is a single or double shot of espresso topped with whipped cream.

Cortado 1/2 espresso, 1/2 foam-infused milk. The perfect afternoon drink, or for that coffee drinker who wants something strong, but needs a little milk to soften the espresso as it goes down. This drink is in between a macchiato and a cafe latte. Pull a double shot into a Gibraltar glass. The milk should have the consistency of a cafe latte and result in the same glassy, smooth, creamy texture as a cafe latte and cappuccino.

Made in thirds - 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam. This is a very traditional way of making cappuccino. The milk should appear glassy, smooth, shiny and with no visible bubbles. The milk and foam should be blended or mixed to create a thick, creamy texture.

Our sencha exemplifies the best of Japan's new yet flourishing interest in growing organic tea. A sophisticated tea, we first detect notes of roasted pears and butter cookies when adding the dry leaves to a pre-warmed kyusu teapot.

Temple of Heaven Gunpowder (also called Pinhead) comes from the Zhejiang province of China and is the highest grade gunpowder available. The leaves for this tea are only plucked during April and May when the quality of the green leaf is at its highest.

Lavishly infused with jasmine, young tip tea leaves are hand-rolled into small "pearls," which unfurl when steeped. This premium tea fills your cup with a pale orange brew and a warm floral bouquet.

A zesty blend of organic black tea, organic ginger root, organic orange peel and organic peach bits.

Green apple pieces and safflowers are perfectly suited for this subtle Chinese sencha style green tea.

A.K.A. Pai Mu Tan. A special tea, extraordinarily fresh tasting with a delicate, sweet, and refreshing appeal. Loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants.

An exhilarating and exciting taste of White French Mint make this tea one of our more popular blends, The lemon and mango flavors this tea perfectly.

A soothing tea from Egypt made from sweet chamomile blossoms. A mild honey-apple aroma gives the flavor of this tea a pleasant accent.
