Táche, the pistachio milk brand now poured at more than 4,000 café locations nationwide, is entering the holiday beverage race with its first-ever chocolate pistachio milk. The Peppermint Mocha Barista — two years in development — combines rich chocolate and cool peppermint with the brand's signature creamy pistachio base, and it arrives this season as both a retail SKU and a foodservice ingredient.
Café Partnership Details
Starting December 8, the limited-edition product will appear on the menu at Aritzia's A-OK Cafe locations as part of a seasonal Frosted Mint Mocha and as an alternative milk option across the menu. The retail fashion brand's café footprint gives Táche a culturally visible foodservice proving ground beyond traditional coffee-shop channels — a tactic increasingly common among better-for-you beverage brands looking to build trial in aspirational consumer environments. For operators, the rollout signals growing demand for plant-based milks that carry seasonal flavor profiles rather than simply functioning as dairy substitutes.
Operator and Retail Availability
The Peppermint Mocha Barista is available now direct-to-consumer at pistachiomilk.com and through Thrive Market, priced at $9 per 32 fl. oz. carton ($54 per six-pack) DTC, with a 15% subscribe-and-save option. Retail pricing is set at $7.99 per carton. Táche's existing retail network spans more than 5,500 doors, including Whole Foods Market, Erewhon, Target, H-E-B, Albertsons, Safeway, and related banners.
The launch is the brand's second limited-edition seasonal release, following a Pumpkin Spice Barista earlier in 2026. It joins a portfolio that now includes Barista and Classic Milk lines, ready-to-drink Pistachio Milk Lattes, and the recently introduced Three-Ingredient Pistachio Milk — the first entry in Táche's new Ingredient Series. That growing lineup reflects a broader plant-based beverage trend in which brands are layering seasonal and ingredient-focused variants to drive repeat purchase and shelf presence beyond a single hero SKU.
"When I started Táche, pistachio was still largely associated with snacking or artificially flavored ice cream," said Roxana Saidi, Founder and CEO of Táche. "Peppermint Mocha is an extension of that belief, and we're just getting started."
Founded in 2020, Táche was an early mover in the pistachio milk category years before the nut achieved widespread cultural traction in food and beverage. The brand's consistent innovation cadence — and its ability to secure placement across both specialty and mass retail — positions it as a bellwether for where alternative milk innovation in restaurants and cafes is heading as operators look for seasonal differentiation on beverage menus.
