Winter weather has arrived in full force, and while it’s very easy–almost tempting–to stay bundled up in your bed all-day, it’s important to keep that Chameleon Cold-Brew #MakerMentality in high gear throughout the next few months. It may be easier said than done, but staying hot when the weather is cold should not just be a lofty dream, but an attainable goal that, of course, your favorite brew can help you conquer in no time. While we can’t take all the credit, we can ensure our buzz will keep you motivated, energized, and most importantly cozy throughout this season (since you can drink us hot… incase you have yet to catch on!)
Start your morning with a hot pot of cold brew
Yes, you read that correctly: A HOT pot cold brew. Our latest product, three whole-bean flavors crafted with our organic coffee beans, couldn’t have arrived (or be sold in a holiday bundle online!) at a more perfect time. Start your morning with a cup of Chameleon just the way you like it, and let your tastebuds instantly feel warmth that can help you start your day strong. This bolt of warm, buzzing brew can kick your caffeine levels into motion while maintaining your carefully-crafted morning routine, regardless the temperature outside. Whether you choose to warm up with a mug fireside, or pour our hot brew into a tumbler on your way out the door, our whole bean, cold brew coffee is your new winter best friend.
Find that winter cold brew #SideHustle
Just because the winter weather has you stuck inside, does not mean your trapped with nothing to do. Use this laid-back time to pick up a crafty #SideHustle you can take on easily from inside your home.

What are you waiting for? We’re a coffee made for #Makers, so drink up, get fueled, and pursue your latest passion – in the comfort of a heated space.

Set aside time for winter self-care
Planning for the holidays and cramming in work for the end of the year is anything but stress-free, not to mention the bonus freak outs that may occur when your skin adjusts to the cool and dry weather. Allow yourself a designated time to de-stress with something HOT, whether it’s a nice bubble bath, an hour sitting by your fireplace, going for a run fueled by your favorite cold brew flavor, or treating yourself to a quiet and cozy coffee date. The Chameleon Crew understands that everyone, no matter how driven or determined they may be, needs time to relax and rechargein order to be their best maker. Plan ahead for activities like this once a month, once a week, or even once a day to keep your mojo going strong throughout the winter season.
