Portola Coffee Roasters Presents a Multi-Sensory Experience

October 23, 2019

Award-winning craft coffeehouse Portola Coffee Roasters just debuted a Theorem menu. And what does that mean? Well, it’s a multi-sensory craft coffee experience so that you can attempt to taste colors. As with all Theorem menus, this one features barista-driven coffee creations that focus on sustainable and seasonal ingredients, complex textures, and global flavors.

“Synesthesia is a sensation we experience when two or more of our senses get crossed,” explained Christa Duggan, who, along with husband Jeff, opened the flagship Portola Coffee Roasters location in Costa Mesa in 2011 to bring a 100% single-cup craft brew coffeehouse to Orange County. “Some people can feel sounds, while others can taste colors. The latter is what our current Theorem menu intends to present, along with a deeper understanding of the nuances of Portola coffee and our inspired brewing techniques.”

Synesthesia Menu

  • Red: Flat Brown – espresso, red velvet ganache, beetroot powder, milk (served hot or cold).
  • Purple: Iced Latte – espresso, grape juice, lavender, milk (served cold).
  • Gold: Gaspar - espresso, honey, turmeric, milk (served warm).
  • Pink: Cold Brew – beetroot powder, strawberry syrup, rose syrup, heavy cream, Maldon sea salt (served cold).
  • Green: Matcha – fresh mint, milk (served warm).


The Synesthesia Theorem Menu is available now through Black Friday, November 29. For more information on Portola Coffee Roasters, locations and hours, please visit portolacoffee.com.
