Three Trees

While at the Eat Real Festival this weekend I tried the Chai flavored Almond Milk and the Cacao flavored Almond Milk. I really liked the Chai flavored milk, it wasn’t too sweet and has a nice chai flavor. I don’t usually like almond milk, but their milk is pretty flavorful. I also like that they don’t use any thickeners or additives. It is expensive, but worth the cost.

Three Trees makes fresh true nutmilks with only clean ingredients; without thickeners or stabilizers, the rich, smooth taste is achieved by using more nuts. Vegan friendly.

I saw their booth at the Eat Real Fest 2014 and wanted to buy their Cold Brew Coffee since I needed caffeine and since I’m lactose-​intolerant I thought this was the best solution. Unfortunately they didn’t have it available. They only had three flavors and I tried two of them: Matcha & Cacao. Unfortunately all I tasted was the almond milk and nothing else. I prefer light tasting almond milk and this was way too strong for me. Great option for those who are vegan. but not my cup of tea (or this case, almond milk).

Three Trees Foods is actually located in San Mateo, they distribute to a variety of local grocers and are available online at Good Eggs. All you need to know is that they make non-​dairy vegan nut milks which taste amazing. Dare I say, perhaps the best nut milk I’ve ever had… although I’m not a connoisseur when it comes to juices and smoothies. And I think that means a lot coming from me, who is neither vegan nor lactose-​intolerant.
It’s pricey ($ 7.99) but much better than the stuff they serve at the various juice places in downtown. It reminds me of a more hearty and tasty version of something Pressed Juicery has. There are a variety of flavors with different nut bases (pistachio, almond, cashew), but I had the Coffee Almond Milk and it tastes like a coffee ice cream smoothie.
Found at Rainbow Grocery, but I think they also sell at Small Grocery in SOMA.
