Arrive at Starbucks.

First, I ordered 'Ice Mousse Caramel Latte'. The size is only the tall size.

On top of the drink was a topping of cascara sugar made from the pulp and husk of

coffee cherry . The creator of the menu, the pinnacle of about 40,000 Starbucks baristas Sodan ( Mayumi Aisou ) According to Mr., the top of the cascara sugar is only half-topped with the concept of 'a latte that customers and baristas finish together'.

This is about the size of a transportation IC card.

From the side, you can see that mousse foam milk, espresso, milk and caramel sauce are layered from above.

When you drink it, the bitterness of the crisp espresso feels sharper than cold. The first bite was bitter, but after the bitterness, the sweetness of rich mousse foam milk and bittersweet caramel sauce spread all over the mouth, making the whole milk sweeter. The exquisite balance of milk and caramel with the aroma of cascara sugar and its rustic sweetness. It was a perfect cup for the season that was getting warmer.

Next, 'Double Shot Caramel Latte' is topped with Cascara Sugar.

This is about the size of a transportation IC card, and the double shot caramel latte is also the only tall size.

Double-shot caramel latte has the flavor of espresso bitterness after the sweetness of warm foam milk. It is slightly bitterer than ice mousse caramel latte. The taste of the caramel was a bit modest, and it was a cup full of the bitterness of coffee while enjoying the sweetness of milk.
