Try our homemade tea and espresso versions below. Please beware though: some places advertising coconut milk are in fact using coconut beverage, which contains very little coconut milk but a lot of sugar and artificial additives. We are so proud of this, and happy to see this trend taking off and coconut milk becoming more available. And it was the first time a cafe in Calgary offered coconut milk as a dairy alternative. This drink became their top seller over the holiday season, out performing all other drinks combined in sales and gaining new customers for the shop! It created some cool buzz around the fact that healthier, whole foods can be used in place of the typical low quality ingredients, without increasing price or compromising flavour (according to fans, it tasted better and a few said it was the best holiday beverage they had ever had). And not only did we offer a NeuroTrition Peppermint Mocha using organic espresso we also created a Peppermint Tea Latte using organic peppermint tea just for their tea loving customers. We partnered up with a local tea and coffee shop called The Tea Factory and launched it there as a special beverage over the holidays. So we decided to make our own to satisfy our craving, without draining our brain power in the process.īecause one of our Brain Food Revolution goals is to make dining out (and drinking out) better for our brain and mental health, we decided to bring this beverage to our hometown of Calgary, Alberta. However, the refined sugars, trans fats and all those artificial additives it contains are just too much to stomach. We admit it: We love Starbucks' Peppermint Mocha.
