Meet the Limited Holiday Collection
Six festive blends. One happy house. Choose your new favorite—or build a flight for everyone on your list.
Spring Kitty — Salted Caramel Mocha
Profile: Buttery caramel meets rich cocoa with a pinch of sea-salt attitude. The “dessert without the crash” cup that wins every cookie exchange.
Tastes like: Warm caramel ribbon, milk chocolate, soft finish.
Best for: Brunch spreads, movie-night mugs, “just one more slice” moments.
Brew tip: French press 1:15, 4 minutes; add a light micro-foam to lift caramel aromatics.
Freedom Kitty — Chocolate · Cherry · Amaretto
Profile: Black-tie dessert in a mug—dark chocolate depth, ripe cherry pop, amaretto warmth. A toast to friendship, found family, and staying late at the table.
Tastes like: Ganache, maraschino-kissed velvet, almond-kissed finish.
Best for: After-dinner coffee, grazing boards, charcuterie nights.
Brew tip: Pour-over for clarity; garnish with a Luxardo cherry when you’re feeling extra.
Breakfast Kitty — Cinnamon Roll

Tastes like: Fresh cinnamon swirl, soft vanilla glaze, gentle sweetness.
Best for: Holiday mornings, pajama brunches, snow-day second cups.
Brew tip: Drip or pour-over; dust the dry grounds with a pinch of cinnamon pre-bloom for a bigger aroma bloom.
Campfire Kitty — Swiss Chocolate

Tastes like: Silky cocoa, toasted sweetness, ember-soft afterglow.
Best for: Board games, story hours, bundling up under the same blanket.
Brew tip: AeroPress (standard recipe) for a lush, fudge-forward cup; a splash of whole or almond milk spotlights the chocolate.

Brew tip: Cappuccino format with a nutmeg kiss on the foam—your refined nod to eggnog.
Pumpkin Kitty — Pumpkin Spice
Profile: Real spice-cabinet energy: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger—layered, not loud. Autumn through New Year, no shame.
Tastes like: Warming spice medley, soft sweetness, balanced finish.
Best for: Thanksgiving brunch, December tailgates, any day ending in “-y.”
Brew tip: Cold brew concentrate 1:4, cut 1:1 with milk over ice; finish with a pinch of cinnamon sugar.
How to Brew Flavored Coffee for Maximum Holiday Magic
- Grind right: Medium for drip/pour-over; medium-coarse for French press; fine for AeroPress (standard recipe). Fresh grind = louder aromatics.
- Mind the heat: 195–205°F water extracts flavor beautifully without harshness.
- Dial the ratio: 1:16 for pour-over/drip (balanced), 1:15 for press (richer body). Taste and adjust.
- Milk strategy: Use less than you think—these blends carry built-in sweetness. Let the roast sing.
- Holiday garnish: A micro-pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cocoa on the foam is plenty. No need to drown the cup.
