AffogaTEA 茶飲

The roasted coffee beans give it this deep, almost dessert-like richness that’s surprisingly smooth with the black tea base. I brew it in the afternoon when I want a little caffeine kick but something more interesting than plain tea. This is my new favorite way to end a meal.

I was skeptical about mixing tea and coffee, but the roasted coffee beans add such a deep, toasty layer to the black tea that it’s become my afternoon ritual. Steeped for four minutes with a splash of milk, it’s like a cozy affogato in a cup without the espresso jitter.

The roasted coffee beans give this tea a deep, almost dessert-like richness that’s perfect for a slow afternoon. I’ve been brewing it a bit cooler than usual to keep the caffeine from getting too sharp, and it’s honestly become my go-to mug.
