Houjicha Carrot Cake Latte
Houjicha Carrot Cake Latte
Inspired by the flavours of classic carrot cake, this drink reimagines the dessert through the lens of hōjicha drink. The tea’s naturally chocolatey, caramel-like notes create a gentle counterpoint to the sweet aromatics of cinnamon and nutmeg, while grounding the richness of carrot cake as a whole. The result is a layered, flavourful glass that offers a new way to experience a beloved dessert, familiar yet unexpectedly refined.
