deserves a drink

The Leftover Afternoon
When you’re done with coffee.
But not with your day.
Morning has coffee. Evening has its hour. The afternoon gets the coffee you drank at eight, in a bigger cup. The afternoon gets the morning’s leftovers: plenty poured in, nothing made for it. Brought to you by Big Caffeine.
What your afternoon needs is not more morning. It’s Wize.

Meet the leaf side of coffee
One leaf. Three ways
to order it.
Coffee comes from the seed inside the coffee cherry. Wize comes from the leaf. We cold-craft it from the leaf, then serve it over ice, with sparkling water or with a twist of citrus.
02 / A little sparkle
Sparkling.
The same leaf, with sparkling water. A different way to slow down.
03 / A bright note
Citrus.
The same leaf with a twist of citrus.
Wize serving concepts. Ask your café for the current recipe and ingredients.
The shake wakes the leaf
One pour. One big cube.
One hard shake.
The shake wakes the leaf. That’s the Still ritual. Sparkling is poured over the cube and left unstirred. At the counter, the order is simple: “a Wize for now.” Still, sparkling or citrus.

A note from Thomas
A long way around,
back to Maine.
From Maine to New York to a farm in Puerto Rico. These days, I divide my time between the farm and lab there and the brewery work here. Farmers, brewers and café teams are helping turn that journey into something you can order.
