Cafe brand COFFEEBAY launched a line of BITTERSWEET drinks that play up ingredients with astringent tastes. This all-new beverage collection includes the Brown Sugar Ristretto Latte, which combines a flavorful, strong cup of ristretto with brown sugar, the Cinnamonsugar Sparkling Long Black with long black espresso and lemon sparkling water and the Cinnamonsugar Spanish Latte with Spanish condensed milk cream and cinnamon sugar.
COFFEEBAY’s stores in the Philippines have already had great success sharing the BITTERSWEET beverages, as the sugar-based beverages are not common in the area and locals are passionately sharing the innovative products on social media.
With many health-conscious consumers looking to cut back on their sugar consumption, they are instead favoring foods and beverages with ingredients that cut through familiar sweet flavors.
