A blend that’s as bright and exciting as the Bay this season
Kaleidoscope Seasonal Espresso
Price range: $21.00 through $126.00
We’re celebrating with a blend that’s as bright and exciting as the Bay this season.
We are believers in the promise of San Francisco, it’s the city of Art and Innovation. And this year we asked 3 artists: What is your idea of a revival of San Francisco?
This is how our second winner, Tatiana Viquez, envisions the City’s past, present, and future:
“Revival, rebirth—such is the current state of San Francisco. A city that continually evolves with the times now finds itself at a crucial juncture, ready to flourish. A city crafted in art, with its architectural marvels bearing witness to its past and future. The Palace of Fine Arts epitomizes this essence. Designed by Bernard Maybeck, it was intended to evoke a fictional ruin from a bygone era. Yes, life here, now, feels like another time. Nonetheless, this moment is not forever.”
The flavors of buttery shortbread from El Ángel, lemon-lime Skittles from Producer’s Pride, and black tea from Los Santos color this Kaleidoscope.
