Coffee & Tea, Times Three

摘要

Whether it's the flavor of coffee or a caffeine buzz, more consumers are turning to foods rather than beverages to get their coffee or tea flavors and caffeine fix. Creating an infused or flavored food product provides an opportunity to combine flavorful treats with coffee or tea, giving the consumer an exotic culinary experience. In some cases, there can be enough coffee in the product to deliver a worthwhile caffeine buzz. For those who prefer tea, matcha green tea-infused foods products are now more common in the gourmet food space. Matcha is a naturally sweet, uniquely bright green shade-grown tea made from finely ground or powdered leaves. The tea leaf flavor is smooth, not bitter, making it a perfect ingredient for incorporating into food products.
