Latte
Seeker
Espresso with a large amount of steamed milk and a light foam layer—smooth texture with a less intense coffee flavor.
Chai Latte
Seeker
Spiced black tea with steamed milk—sweet, aromatic, and coffee-free.
Flat White
Navigator
Espresso with velvety microfoam milk—stronger coffee flavor than a latte, silkier than a cappuccino.
Matcha Latte
Navigator
Whisked green tea powder with steamed milk—earthy, smooth, and naturally vibrant.
Cortado
Navigator
Equal parts espresso and steamed milk—clear coffee flavor with just enough milk to soften the intensity.
Cold Brew
Adventurer
Coffee steeped in cold water for 12–24 hours—smooth, strong, and naturally mellow without bitterness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a café experience level?
Seeker drinks are mild and familiar. Navigator drinks highlight espresso flavor and texture. Adventurer drinks emphasize bold coffee flavor or distinctive brewing styles.
Can I customize the sweetness of café drinks?
Yes. Many café drinks are unsweetened by default. You can add syrups such as vanilla or caramel, or request half-sweet.
What is the difference between a hot and iced version of the same drink?
The ingredients are often similar, but temperature changes the texture, balance, and overall drinking experience. Iced versions are often slightly stronger to account for dilution from ice.
