Since opening in 2012, The Coffee Academics in Hong Kong has made it to one of the top coffee shops in the world. It takes pride in providing top grade beans and carefully brewing your coffee to offer the perfect cup. Unique drinks include lattes which are sweetened with organic raw agave nectar and spiced with ground black pepper or a “global inspired coffee” Okinawa, a cup of coffee that is sweetened with dark brown sugar from the Okinawa Islands.
Here are the most polar types of coffee drinks served at coffee houses:
Espresso – This strong black coffee is made by forcing hot water through finely ground dark roasted coffee beans. The light brown froth on the top of a shot of espresso is called the crema and contains much of the coffee’s flavor.
Cafe Latte – A latte is espresso topped with three parts of steamed milk. For some variation, sweetened flavors such as caramel, vanilla, or hazelnut can also be added.
Cappuccino – A hugely popular drink, this is a latte topped off with steamed milk and extra froth.
Americano – An Americano is a single shot of espresso added to a cup of hot water.
Mocha – A latte with added chocolate, or hot chocolate with added espresso. Flavored syrups can also be added such as chocolate, caramel or hazelnut.
America may be obsessed with coffee but as it turns out, the U.S. isn’t at the top of the list for coffee consumption around the world. According to Euromonitor, the Netherlands ranks #1 at 2.4 cups a day per-capita consumption while the U.S. ranks 16th just beneath Belgium, Switzerland and New Zealand.
