TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — La Mer and Japan’s No Coffee have opened a limited-time “Cafe de La Mer” pop-up in Taipei, running through Nov. 4.
Built around the theme “No cream, no life,” the collaboration pairs La Mer’s day-and-night skincare rituals with a minimalist coffee experience. Two signature drinks mirror the routine: the daytime “Day Sea Melody,” a Nakazawa cream honey cold brew, and the nighttime “Deep Sea Mist,” a sesame-cream oat milk latte.
“Day Sea Melody” blends amber honey with cold brew and a topping of Japan’s Nakazawa cream for a rich yet light finish, with gentle acidity from Ethiopian beans. “Deep Sea Mist” layers lightly roasted black sesame and a bold Italian espresso over an oat milk base.
The space adopts clean lines and deep blue tones, extending La Mer’s ocean aesthetic with No Coffee’s pared-back style. Conceived as a “Listening Cafe,” it features curated tracks inspired by La Mer’s four creams, translating their textures into soundscapes.
Exclusive merchandise includes cookies shaped like La Mer’s classic cream jars that rest on a cup rim for a playful presentation. No Coffee is also marking an anniversary with limited-edition memorial daruma dolls in Tiffany blue and rose gold, handmade by a Gunma artisan.
Visitors who join La Mer’s new member program on-site from 11 a.m. daily can receive a complimentary collaborative drink and a branded capsule toy. The capsule contains a 3 ml trial of either the classic Creme de la Mer or the new Revitalizing Night Cream.
