I've added an unexpected flavour of cream top to my coffee today and it is absolute perfection. It’s rich, creamy, and has a distinct flavor that I know you're going to love—but I want to see if you can guess it first!

Is it salted caramel? Vanilla bean? Something fruity maybe? 🧐

This weekend we will be at our second of only 3 public events we’ve booked for this year, the Horsepower Rally on Saturday and Sunday.
We’ve been doing things a little differently recently and have been in talks about bringing something new to Timaru, maybe a couple of somethings but will update on that at a later date hopefully.
Meanwhile if you’re wanting something fun to do this weekend come and say hi at the rally.

We’re super excited to be returning to this awesome event again this year only this time at the Caroline Bay Hall.
This was our first ever event last year so it’s great to be returning again for two days this time.
Come down and see what they have going on and grab one of our delicious sodas while you’re there!

We’ve been a bit quiet for a while but we have plans to come out of hibernation soon.
Starting with the Temuka mid winter craft market on 8th August.
It’s indoors so will be nice and warm. Put it in your diary now so you don’t forget.
