Caffè Latte – tea an alternative to afternoon coffee

Caffè Latte is a flavored black tea created at the intersection of two daily rituals: drinking tea and coffee. In this blend, the classic, distinctive tea base is complemented by coffee beans, giving the infusion a distinctive, lightly roasted aroma. This type of composition is no accident – for years, teas with a hint of coffee have been featured in European tea shops as an alternative to traditional coffee beverages, particularly among those seeking an intense flavor in a lighter form. In many Western European countries, such blends serve as an "in-between" drink – chosen throughout the day when coffee would be too heavy and traditional tea too neutral. Over time, they have become a permanent fixture in tea shops and specialty shops, responding to changing consumer habits.

The black tea that forms the base of this blend provides structure and depth to the infusion, while coffee beans enhance its naturally malty, roasted tones. Cornflower blossoms, used in tea blends since the 19th century, complement the blend by delicately brightening the tea and lending it an elegant, refined appearance. The blend was designed to deliver a distinct and bold infusion, while retaining the tea's character without the heavy feel associated with coffee. In traditional European blends, floral additions were often a sign of care and quality, helping to distinguish flavored teas from classic black teas even before detailed product descriptions became common.

Taste and aroma

The infusion's flavor is full and expressive, with both classic black tea and a hint of coffee that blends naturally with its maltiness. The coffee beans enhance the roasted character of the composition and give it a more assertive character, while the cornflower blossoms introduce a delicate, herbal finish that softens the overall flavor. The black tea remains prominent in the infusion, lending it a distinct tea character. The aroma is intense, with coffee and tea notes, with a subtle background of the cornflower blossoms.

For whom?

Caffè Latte may appeal to those who normally drink black tea but are looking for something more than a classic flavor profile, wanting to replace their afternoon cup of coffee with a brew with less caffeine. It's also an interesting option for coffee lovers who want to try a similar infusion with a tea twist. This blend works well year-round, but is especially popular during the fall and winter seasons, when interest in fuller-flavored infusions increases.

How to brew Caffè teaè Latte?

It is best to brew the tea with boiling water at a temperature of approximately 100°C for 3–5 minutes, using one teaspoon of dried herbs per 200 ml of water, which allows you to fully extract the depth of the black tea and the characteristic aroma of coffee beans, maintaining a balance between the intensity and clarity of the infusion.

Why is it worth having it on offer?

Caffè Latte is a unique blend of two popular infusions, attracting a wide audience: not only black tea lovers but also coffee enthusiasts. The coffee beans and cornflower petals present a very attractive and eye-catching appearance, while the distinctive flavor profile makes this tea a popular choice for those seeking less obvious flavored blends.
