This summer, we’ve been experimenting with iced coffee and tea ideas to create drinks full of bright, expressive flavour profiles – pairing some of our best-loved coffees with fruit, botanicals, and soft sweetness to create a menu that has both refreshing and indulgent elements.
Using two core Single Origin coffees – Colombia Comepcafe (washed, medium roast) and Ethiopia Mirado (natural, medium roast) and from our Signature Blend range, Umbra, we’ve developed a range of drinks perfect for sunny afternoons spent in the garden, café terraces, or simply slowing down and enjoying any opportunity for some summer sunshine.
Below, you’ll find links to individual full recipes, preparation techniques, and presentation details to bring these drinks to life.

The Drinks
Comepcafé Peach & Cardamom Cold Brew
A soft, elegant drink where delicate peach sweetness meets warm spice.
Taste Notes: Like summer in a glass - light, peachy, and incredibly refreshing with a clean, almost tea-like finish. A touch of cardamom brings just enough warmth to keep you coming back for another sip.

Mirado Spritz
Bright, sparkling, and citrus-led – a coffee spritz with a twist.
Taste Notes: Think Summer Spritz, but with coffee. Bright citrus, gentle fizz, and vibrant fruit notes make this a refreshing twist that's as easy to drink as it is to love.

Matcha Apple & Pineapple Spritz
A vibrant, layered highball combining tropical fruit with earthy matcha.
Taste Notes: A combination you wouldn't expect to work - but it absolutely does. Crisp apple, juicy pineapple, and smooth matcha come together in a fresh, tropical drink that's full of character.

Rose Truffle Delight
A rich, indulgent serve with floral notes and chocolate depth.
