Coffee Trends Follow Culinary Trends

-- Chain Leader, 10/1/2007


Culinary trends such as ethnic influences like Latin American, Asian and Italian are replacing retro-American flavors as the new hot and cold coffee beverage to try. And dessert flavors such as tres leches, pumpkin pie, spice cake, caramel chocolate, orange cream and banana pudding are being adapted as specialty coffee flavors. And of course anything that packs a wallop of flavor.
