Tropical Splash Coconut Co Ferment

It’s a humid Chicago afternoon. You’ve got sweat behind your knees. The sidewalk’s giving off that summer heat shimmer. What you need—what you deserve—is something cold, something smooth, something that hits like a breeze off the lake.

Enter: Forest Coffee’s Coconut Co-Ferment, our newest cold brew crush.

Now, yes—it’s a little unorthodox. Coconut water and coffee fermented together? Sounds like the start of a beach cocktail, not a specialty brew. But this is no gimmick. This is Forest Coffee doing what they do best: pushing boundaries without sacrificing clarity, cleanliness, or deliciousness.

The result? A cold brew that’s like drinking a tropical vacation in work boots.

We’re talking creamy coconut, bright lime acidity, tropical fruit undertones, and a smooth, cooling finish that somehow tastes both juicy and clean. There’s a silkiness to the body that feels almost like a light dairy—but it’s totally plant-based, naturally infused, and still unmistakably coffee.

That experimental co-ferment process? It unlocks wild layers of flavor, but in cold brew, it really sings. You get that gentle sparkle of acidity up front—think pineapple or citrus peel—followed by a mellow, coconut cream sweetness that rolls over your palate like a wave. No sharp bitterness. No need for sweetener. It’s just… chill. Like actually chill.

If traditional cold brew is your beat-up Ford pickup, this is your friend’s restored vintage Land Cruiser with surfboards on the roof.

Forest Coffee isn’t just making coffee—they’re playing with it, stretching it, asking “what if?” and somehow answering with “this.” And in a world full of loud ideas and loud flavors, this one’s surprisingly balanced. Tropical but grounded. Refreshing, but thoughtful.

Serve it over ice. Sip slowly. Then smile like someone just handed you a coconut with a straw and said, “Go on. Take five.”
