Coffee Cocktails: Headstand x Carlos Pola

Celebrating true collaboration. Carlos Pola is one of our longest standing Direct Trade partners so we found out his leaf is one of the main ingredients in Headstand - the world's first coffee leaf seltzer - a coffee cocktail collaboration that combined his coffee (AKI) with Headstand, was a no brainer. 

Here we have the Pola Citrus Fiz.

Headstand has some lovely floral qualities so we wanted the cocktail to replicate that and build on that flavour profile to compliment headstand as much as possible. Oolong and Orange extract are key components to do this job within the drink.
