The star of the winter menu was the Blondie Latte – a blend of caramel notes, cookie butter and a hint of miso for a unique decadent taste – which is also available as a matcha version.

For tea lovers, The Earl Grey Matcha stood out as a sophisticated take on their classic matcha. Pairing perfectly with these drinks was the sea salt and milk chocolate cookie.
