Coffee Energy Drinks.
The lift without the crash.

Cold-brewed coffee fruit meets light natural sweetness. 80 mg of natural caffeine per can, about one shot of espresso. No taurine. No synthetic stimulants. Just the part of the coffee cherry the world usually throws away, given a second life in a chilled 330 ml can.

The cherry's other gift.

When a coffee cherry is picked, the outer skin, the cascara, or coffee fruit, is typically discarded during wet-milling as a pulp byproduct. It has always been a waste problem. In Yemen and Ethiopia, where the tradition of drinking cascara as a tea called qishr has existed for centuries, it was never considered waste at all.

Cascara is naturally sweet, fruity, and caffeinated. It tastes like a cross between hibiscus tea, dried cherry, and a hint of tamarind, nothing like the bean at all, but sharing its caffeine payload. We cold-brew our cascara for 18 hours, blend it with a small amount of cold-brewed coffee, and lightly sweeten with natural fruit sugars. The result is a drink that delivers real energy without the synthetic stimulant stack of conventional energy drinks.

At 80 mg of natural caffeine per 330 ml can, it delivers the same energy as a shot of espresso, but over a longer, gentler curve. No crash. No jitters. Just a clean, pleasant lift that suits a long meeting, a pre-workout, or an afternoon slump.

Natural, by design.

Chilled. Always.

  1. Serve at 2–5°C. The flavour is best cold. Refrigerate for at least two hours before drinking. If you are opening a warm can in the field, pour over ice in a cup for a faster chill.
  2. Pre-workout. Drink 20–30 minutes before exercise. The natural caffeine curve is gradual, expect a clean 90-minute energy window without a sharp crash.
  3. Post-lunch slump. The ideal moment. Natural caffeine + light sweetness is enough to clear the post-lunch fog without disrupting evening sleep if consumed before 3 pm.
  4. Coffee cocktail base. The Malt Cold Brew variant is an outstanding base for an espresso martini riff or a simple whisky-and-coffee highball. Replace the espresso shot with a full can, reduce the sweetener, shake over ice.
