Oatchata LatteUpdated 3 hours ago

This smooth, nutty, lightly sweet beverage was crafted by our Director of Coffee, Cary. In drawing inspiration from some of his favorite childhood flavors, Cary designed a drink reminiscent of Tang Yuan (a black sesame filled sticky rice ball dessert) that he grew up eating in Queens.

Throughout the years since its creation, the Black Sesame Cold Brew Latte has been featured in our cafes as a limited-time seasonal beverage, with its most prominent re-introductions being in celebration of Lunar New Year.
