"cafe latte" news and stories

Speaking of coffee, if you're looking to find something special for Valentine's Day to give the lovable but ever-wired coffee addict in your life, the natural choice would be...coffee? No. Do you really want to give your girl/boy-friend, husband/wife or part-time lover a bag of beans? Think of it the other way around. You happen to love tennis, but do you want to get a pair of terry cloth wristbands for Valentine's Day?

Heck no! Those gifts are fine for say, Memorial Day, but this is Valentine's Day, and you want it to be something that is special and romantic and shows you understand your loved one's habit. For the coffee lover, how about a set of luxurious Caramel Cafe Latte soaps? The soaps have the sweet scent of caramel and familiar smell of coffee, but will let your lovee relax rather than get amped up.

The Gift Box of soaps with a small bowl are available from Gianna Rose for $31.50.

A well made piece of latte art is a beautiful thing, but when it's combined with chocolate, it enters a whole new level. Dessert Comes First encountered this divine drink at a coffee shop in Singapore called Bali Blends. Not only do they clearly specialize in the art of coffee making, they carry a variety of bean blends from Indonesia and, in particular, from Bali. Balinese coffee was, until recently, only exported to Japan, but it is now appearing in new markets. The coffee is supposed to have a deep, earthy tone to it, so it is easy to see how it would pair exceptionally will with chocolate.
