Try Out The New Goth Latte By Mellower Coffee Singapore

Hi Huneybees,

We had a fun time spending Halloween at Mellower Coffee Singapore. Not only were we treated to their latest "brew" - Goth Latte, we also had hands-on lessons on how to make our very own version of coffees with the Mellower Classic Coffee Bags.

First up, the Goth Latte. Being the first in unique coffee brews like Sakura and Cotton Candy, comes a new mesmerizing coffee, that's full of surprises as you stir up your drink.

Served in both hot and cold versions, this new black-ish drink consists of natural edible bamboo charcoal diffused with milk and espresso. The layers of brown, white and black being infused with marble like effects as we stir the drink up, gives the inspiration for the Goth Latte, also makes good talking points.

Thinking that it's charcoal, I thought the drink might be bitter, I even had the syrup bottle ready. But actually, the Goth Latte is nothing short in taste. The bamboo charcoal not only aids in digestion, it also brought out the fragrance of the coffee, with an earthy sweet note.

The cold version would taste better after blending the whipped cream on top, whilst the warm one is just nice as you enjoy the beautiful latte art on top.

If you are a coffee addict like me and would like to have some Mellower Coffee anytime, anywhere, go ahead and get a box of their coffee bags home. And if you are looking to make your coffee cafe-style, you can also sign up for a session of their coffee brewing workshop.

That day, I learnt how to make Iced Lemon Coffee, Iced Milk Coffee and Vietnam Coffee. My favourite is the Iced Lemon Coffee, very refreshing and makes a good tea time refresher before heading back to work. Here's a quick way to prepare the drink.

1. Put a bag of tea bag coffee into cup and pour in 200ml of chilled water, put it for 2 – 2.5 mins.
2. While waiting, slice a piece of lemon about 0.5cm thick and put it into the cup of coffee.

(Tips: Add ice cubes to personal preference and coat lemon slice with sugar, or add a little syrup, if it is too sour).

So, there you have it. With so many updates and happenings at Mellower Coffee Singapore, why not drop by with your friends for a chill out sesh? More information can be found at their Facebook Page and do check out my previous visit to Mellower Coffee Singapore too! 😁

Falling In Love With Mellower Coffee's Sakura Fubuki

Hi Huneybees, ;

While the general public are still praying for the return of Gong Cha and sharing mixed reviews on the new cheesy milk tea by LiHO, a specialty café from Shanghai has been making great stride into the local F&B scene with very interesting coffee.

Imagine standing under the cherry blossom trees, wind blowing against your skin, making the sakura petals fall from the trees as you catch a whiff of sakura fragrance whilst sipping on your warm cuppa of Joe. This is what Mellower Coffee Singapore wants you to feel with their newly launched signature drink - Sakura Fubuki.

Designed as an unique Japanese twist to the typical Americano, this drink contains Sakura blossom preserve that is actually Sakura petals imported from Japan (Osaka to be exact) in a glass of chilled syrup with ice and 2 shots of expresso in test tubes.

To truly enjoy this new signature from Mellower Coffee, I suggest you, my Huneybees to start by mixing half a shot/test tube of expresso into the glass of syrup with Sakura blossom preserve just to sample it before adding more.

Doing so will allow you to find your own preference by adjusting the degree of bitterness, whilst reducing the saltiness and sweetness from the petal preserves and the syrup collectively. Just like first love, magnificent yet short lived, beautiful yet with a snip of bitterness.

For me, my perfect balance was to add in 1.5 shots (or test tube) of espresso, leaving me with a slight floral aftertaste. Not only is the Sakura Fubuki a dance on your taste buds, it's also Instagram worthy.

Sakura Fubuki is the latest of many signatures that Mellower Coffee has had created, such as Ice Lemon Sparkling Yirgacheffe and Ice Rose Fresh Cream Lungo, just to name a few, by a team of world class barista at its disposal.

Since its establishment in 2011 in Shanghai China, Mellower Coffee has grown from strength to strength with 20 outlets in China, 2 outlets in Singapore - 77 Robinson Road #01-03 and 108 Middle Road - and 1 in Seoul Korea . More information - http://www.mellowercoffee.com.

With Mellower Coffee's bold attempt to communicate to the world about Chinese sentiments towards Coffee as well as constantly pushing the boundary of coffee with new signatures, I'm sure it is going to be a new force to reckoned with in this fast growing potential world of coffee.

Do try it and let me know your thoughts of this drink =)
