Done with coffee. Not with the day.

You’ve got your
morning covered.
Own your afternoon.

Espresso. Matcha. Wize. The third essential base for your afternoon menu.

We’re bringing together the first Wize cafés in Maine, beginning with Portland and nearby delivery routes. A small group, a new leaf, and a lot to learn together.

Public pouring begins in 2027.

For Portland’s first Foliers

The café gains a base.
The barista gains a craft.

Wize is a cold drink made from the leaves of the coffee tree. Serve it three ways: still, sparkling or with a twist of citrus. Give your team another afternoon option to introduce, taste and make its own.

Wize Folier Edition, cold-crafted coffee leaf concentrate, made for professional shaking and serving. 750 mL glass bottle, 24 pours. Keep refrigerated; each bottle carries its own date.

The questions are practical

Does it taste good enough to order again? Can your team serve it comfortably? Do the numbers work for your café? We’ll learn those things with you.

01

Start with a taste.

A tasting with your team, guidance on all three serves, and recipe and storage instructions for Wize Folier Edition.

02

Give the team the words.

Practical training, menu wording, and a short explanation staff can use at the counter.

03

Keep the delivery local.

A named contact, an agreed replenishment schedule, and local delivery in our own field vehicle.

04

Learn from the real afternoon.

A place on the Portland finder when you’re ready to pour, and a regular conversation about service, customer response and what needs to improve.

Learn the leaf. Master the shake. Write the menu.

Folier Sessions.

A tasting and shake class behind your own bar, taught by the Wize team. We call the person who learns the leaf and its serve a Folier (foh-lee-AY).

Date to be announced.

Folier 1: an exam-based title, earned.

Recognition: Folier levels carry their own marks and gear your guests will see.

Ask about a Folier Session

We’ll share product specifications, equipment requirements, pricing and pilot terms before you decide to participate.

A place on the menu. Honest feedback.

Give guests something
to look forward to
after lunch.

Train the people pouring it. Keep simple records of paid sales, service issues and reorders. Tell us what customers say, including what they don’t like.

We’re looking for afternoon service, a team that likes to taste and learn, and enough time to give the pilot a fair try. We’ll agree the details together.
