Did you know? Coffee Edition
The beloved latte has a fascinating history! Originating in Italy, the word latte simply means “milk.” It wasn’t until the 1950s that the modern latte, with its signature balance of espresso and steamed milk, became popular in coffeehouses.
While Italians typically drink their lattes in the morning, the global rise of espresso culture has made it a favourite all day long. Fun fact: the art of creating beautiful latte art, from intricate hearts to stunning rosettas, was pioneered in the 1980s and has since become a café staple!
So, next time you sip your latte, you’re enjoying a true coffee tradition.
