They’re not the first ingredients that come to mind when you think about what you want to add into a latte. When was the last time you crossed black pepper onto a rosetta? Surprisingly, The Coffee Academics is able to connect the dots. Having a coffee that brings with it a transportive experience is somewhat appropriate. In a city that’s tight and fast paced, Academics has seen the need to provide that extra element of escape through its menu. This is one of 4 signature drinks that manage to convey a spirit of experimentation that’s similar to the fancy cocktail menus you get in HongKong’s legendary bars.
Flavor-wise, agave nectar is a relatively neutral flavor. It’s sweeter than honey and the latte definitely tastes sweetened as a result of its presence in the drink. The aroma of the pepper is distinct though, and the contrast between spice highlights the sweetness even more.
