You are probably familiar with Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite for one reason or another. Maybe it is because you were a bad little boy or girl and your mom forced you to attend the dreadful nine-hour-long (or at least it feels that way) ballet to remind you that Christmas can dole out punishments just as easily as gifts. Maybe you have listened to Christmas music over the years, or perhaps you live in a cave but somehow saw Disney’s masterpiece, Fantasia. Regardless, it’s a famous piece of music and the inspiration for our new winter flavor: Arabian Dance.
The Nutcracker story has something to do with a girl using her Jedi powers to save the Titanic from aliens. In the second act, she is force-fed sweets from various cultures while observing dance caricatures of their respective ethnicities. One such sweet (or would it be “suite?”) gift, coffee, is accompanied by the Arabian Dance. You can listen to the song here.
Our version of the Arabian Dance is a coffeelate (no cocoa present at all— coffee beans instead!) with rich cream and spices used in Arabic qahwa coffee: cardamom, clove, and cinnamon. The result is a sweet and creamy spiced coffee bar that we think Tchaikovsky would enjoy if he were 185 years old rather than extremely dead and thus completely disinterested in candy.
Order yours before they are gone. And through December 13th (our last day taking new orders before 2026), every order receives a free bar of Arabian Dance in addition to any other promotions applied. Yeah, we’re currently in the giving mood, but don’t try our patience or you might have a very, very long night at the ballet in your future.
