Baobab Latte
This baobab latte is creamy, tangy, and energising; a warm cup that blends heritage with modern comfort. Made with whole milk, baobab powder, a drizzle of honey, and finished with a cloud of cream on top, it’s both nourishing and indulgent. The citrusy brightness of baobab wakes you up with every sip, while the milk and cream soften it into a soothing, velvety drink. Perfect for when you want a coffee alternative that still feels uplifting, grounding, and a little luxurious.
