The very first sip is like walking into your grandma’s kitchen when she’s baking. You get a big, creamy wave of steamed milk and espresso. It’s not bitter, though—it’s smooth and comforting, like a soft blanket for your mouth.

What are those flavors? It’s a little team of classic baking spices working together. You’ve got cinnamon leading the charge, the friendly captain everyone loves. Right behind it is nutmeg, which adds a warm, nutty whisper.
