It’s time for a Cameo Fall Fav 🍁 Horchata de Cafe 🇲🇽 🇸🇻 

This beverage is born out a collaboration between 
Coffee Director Kenia Canales & Chef Julia Jaramillo! 

The horchata de café is a drink specific to México, that blends rich flavors like condensed milk, instant coffee, cocoa, and rice. 

We pay homage to the original by incorporating the following:

Wild Rice 🌾 (providing a nutty and balanced component)
@minorfigures organic oat milk + coconut 🥥 milk (for that creamy mouthfeel) 
@a_toda_madre_roasters_  Juntos Community Lot concentrate (delicate touch of coffee) 
@reyamargo_us 100% Mexican Stone Milled Cocoa & Cardamom (classic sweet flavors we crave especially in the fall 🍂) 

Expect this gem 💎 to meet all your fall needs!

Our newest fall signature beverage: Chicha, Hojicha! 

Hojicha by @spirittea, paired with our house made chicha (Peruvian purple corn) concentrate, rich panela syrup and a dash of cinnamon. 

What is Hojicha?: Green tea stemming from the same plant as Matcha, made from later harvest leaves. While Matcha tends to have an umami, earthy taste, Hojicha tends to have a smokey, nutty flavor. 

This Hojicha has tasting notes of: malted milk 🥛 + cocoa powder 🍫 + chicory root 🌱 from Uji, Japan 

Chicha, Hojicha was made inspired  by the traditional Peruvian drink Chicha Morada, and as an homage to the Japanese 🇯🇵 heritage in Peru 🇵🇪 paired with Hojicha. This drink was made in collaboration with our barista Angel, from Peru! 💜

Our September Featured Roaster @a_toda_madre_roasters_ 

We took a trip to El Salvador with our exporting friends @caravelacoffee, as special guests with @pacamara.papi (Jefe de Roasting - ATMR) and the one and only Josue (@alphajosue) from the beloved @lafincacoffeemd with our very own Coffee Director Kenia! 

There we trekked our way through the region of Chalatenago, El Salvador. We met some producers making excellent coffees, and we COULD NOT wait to share them with you all our coffee community. 

We have some really special coffees from El Salvador 🇸🇻 + Mexico 🇲🇽 in our line up including new to release cold brews every single weekend until mid-October. Meaning every weekend you can taste a new brew, and have freshly roasted coffee, that is exclusive to Cameo. 

Swipe ➡️ to get a peak of these rotational cold brews as well as our single pour and retail features.
