If you taste something like never before when you sip Slingshot, then you get it. Slingshot isnt your average Cold Brew. Founded in 2012 by eight-time award-winning baristas, Jenny & Jonathan Bonchak, we pioneered the Cold Brew movement by setting out to craft the highest-quality, best-tasting cold brew that is light, bright, juicy and fruity. Using only single-origin coffees that are 100% Certified Organic, Certified Kosher and directly-sourced, Slingshot Cold Brew is clean, balanced and complex with notes of citrus, cacao and stone fruit. As inspired coffee visionaries, we introduced the first ready-to-drink Cascara Tea in 2013, souring single-origin, single-variety coffee cherries directly from the world-renowned Finca Kilimanjaro in Santa Ana, El Salvador. And today, were proud to have a full lineup of Cold Brew, Cascara Teas and Coffee Sodas.
Today, Slingshot Coffee Co. has a superior lineup of Cold Brews and Cascara Teas that are found in trend-setting markets, cafes and restaurants, and distributed in top grocers across the U.S.

Carpe was founded with one mission: to help those suffering with embarrassing, uncomfortable sweat. We are reimagining everything that antiperspirants and sweat control can be.
We grew up with sweaty palms, hesitating to hold a hand or reach for that handshake. We spent a year developing over 60 prototypes until we created a product that worked for us.
After launching in 2014, we heard from countless customers for whom nothing else had worked asking us to expand our sweat solution line. We have grown into a full suite of products designed to help no matter where, no matter why, and no matter how much you sweat.
