Beverages that warm the soul

A French Vanilla Latte for the Romantic

A Romance reader reaches for something that is exactly what they want to read — fun, frothy, and sweet. When the romance spills out of the page with whispered sweet nothings, stolen glances, fingertips touching and harmless misunderstandings, nothing but a sip of saccharine Vanilla can do the trick.

Nothing accompanies a romance novel better than a French Vanilla Latte

An Americano for the Thrill Seeker

When the plot thickens and the suspense deepens, sleep evades those who love a good thriller. The best poison for those moments is the strongest Americano in the vicinity. There’s something about the bitter coffee waking you up to keep you awake and ahead of the game.

A Cuppa Green Tea for the Self Helper

Nothing screams ‘self care’ better than a warm mug of Green Tea, especially when it’s super sized. For the Self Help guru that believes in bettering themselves with each page they devour, nothing but a sip of health will do.

A Matcha Latte for the Poet

Earthy, elegant and poised, the Poet appreciates a play on words just the same as their drink. Personalise the grassy flavours with your favourite milk or milk supplement and add a shot of something sweet – this is something a poet adept at their words could pull off just as effortlessly as a good barista.

A Hot Chocolate for the Children’s Lit Enthusiast

The nostalgia of a warm night spent reading the latest instalment of a magic-filled series or following along on the adventures of five cousins and their dog, is only made sweeter with the memory of Hot Chocolate. Powdered or made from scratch, this is the one cup of wizardry that could lose to no one. It is this very feeling that is replicated every time you hold a warm cup of hot chocolate, no matter how old you get.
