While our Kyoto-Style Espresso is featured in many of our most indulgent iced drinks, it’s also deliciously smooth on its own.
Our Espresso Tonic is a bubbly and refreshing expression of our Kyoto-Style Espresso made with tonic syrup and sparkling water. A perfect companion for summer’s warm, sun-drenched afternoons.
Our Cold-Shaken Espresso lets you explore the intricacies of Kyoto-Style Espresso’s profile. It’s shaken and poured over ice for a strong and frothy iced espresso drink like no other.
These are our purest expression of this cold espresso — bold and sophisticated.

Experience our ultra-smooth Kyoto-Style Espresso, crafted into our most indulgent cafe drinks.
Our Iced Sweet Latte delivers a remarkably smooth finish, completely free from the bitter bite of espresso shock. By cold-extracting our signature Hayes Valley Espresso, we unlock its softer, more nuanced flavor notes — perfectly balanced within a sweet, creamy latte.
You can also try Kyoto-Style Espresso in our Shakerato drinks. Our Vanilla Bean Shakerato, available year-round, brings this smooth, cold espresso together with vanilla bean syrup — shaken then poured over milk and ice. And our seasonal Sweet Blossom Shakerato adds the fruity and floral taste of lychee, elderflower, and muscat to the mix, with a light garnish of orange zest.
Stop by a cafe for cold indulgence.

Introducing our newest Exceedingly Rare coffee: California Frinj Yeast Washed Gesha, from the late producer Jay Ruskey of Frinj. Grown along California’s coast, this rare washed Gesha is bright, precise, and expressive. The cup features bright florals, layered citrus, stone fruit acidity, and a delicate, tea-like body.
This lot was sourced from two farms in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties and yeast-washed processed at Frinj’s wet mill in Ventura, California. https://bit.ly/4vtslkG?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhfacebook&utm_content=app.dashsocial.com%2Fbluebottle%2Flibrary%2Fmedia%2F688969474
A Note About the Late Producer —
Jay Ruskey, the founder of Frinj Coffee, pioneered California-grown coffee over the past two decades. Through experimentation and collaboration, he advanced both cultivation and processing. We had the privilege of working with him and his team over the last 10 years, and we’re honored to share one of his coffees today.

Introducing Kyoto-Style Espresso. A composed, layered, and remarkably smooth espresso designed for ice, not adapted to it.
Rooted in Kyoto’s tradition of slow, cold extraction and crafted with the intention and rigor of Hayes Valley Espresso, our newest innovation replaces pressure with patience. Cold water moves deliberately through finely tuned espresso grounds, drawing out sweetness, structure, and clarity.
The result is an iced espresso that doesn’t collapse under ice. Flavor stays intact. Sweetness comes forward. Texture remains composed. Depth unfolds gradually. Even as the ice melts, the cup remains balanced — smooth from first sip to last.
Starting June 16, try it at your local cafe and taste the difference.

Have you had your first taste of summer yet? Head to a cafe to try our Sweet Blossom Latte with notes of elderflower, lychee, and muscat and our Golden Cinnamon NOLA made with Vietnamese cinnamon and honey — both are here just for the season.
While you’re indulging, pair your drink with a bright seasonal treat, like our Yuzu Sugar Cookie.
