Lavender Yirgacheffe Latte — The Andante Edition

"It’s like capturing a spring morning in a cup. The floral jasmine and wild lavender notes are unlike anything I've ever brewed." – M. Teerapat, Specialty Coffee Enthusiast

When you hold this cup, the first thing you’ll notice isn't the taste, but the bouquet. The steam carries the soothing scent of dried lavender mixed with the high-toned jasmine notes inherent to the Yirgacheffe bean. As you take your first sip, the silken micro-foam acts as a bridge, mellowing the bright acidity of the espresso into a creamy, botanical finish that lingers long after the cup is empty. It is more than just a latte; it is a sensory ritual designed to slow down your morning and bring a moment of calm to your busy day

This recipe began as a quest to honor the delicate, tea-like elegance of our Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. The journey of these beans starts in the high-altitude gardens of Ethiopia, where they develop a signature profile of bright citrus and soft florals. We wanted to create a drink that didn’t just "sweeten" the coffee, but rather allowed the Yirgacheffe’s natural stone-fruit notes to harmonize with the aromatic grace of lavender. It is a drink inspired by the clarity of the morning sun—the airy lightness of silken micro-foam met with the sophisticated depth of a floral espresso. Our friends often describe it as "Sunshine in a glass," and it has become our go-to recommendation for those who want to experience the vibrant, modern side of single-origin craft.

Lavender Yirgacheffe Latte

Section 1: List Your Ingredients

To craft this delicate and floral macchiato, you will need:

• 40 ml Espresso (Double shot of The Andante Ethiopia Yirgacheffe)

• 15–20 ml Lavender syrup

• 150–180 ml Steamed milk (aim for a silky micro-foam texture)

• Optional: Dried lavender buds for garnish

Section 2: Add Numbered Directions

• Syrup Base: Add 15–20 ml of lavender syrup into your favorite latte cup.

• The Yirgacheffe Extraction: Extract a 40 ml double shot of The Andante Ethiopia Yirgacheffe directly over the syrup and stir gently to combine.

• Milk Preparation: Steam 150–180 ml of milk until it is creamy and has a delicate micro-foam.

• The Final Pour: Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso-syrup mixture. If you're feeling artistic, this is the perfect base for some floral latte art.

  
  

Voila! Your Lavender Yirgacheffe Latte is ready. The final drink should be aromatic and light, with the purple lavender notes perfectly highlighting the coffee's natural floral character. Serve immediately while the foam is light and airy.

Pro Tip: For the best experience, use a wide-rimmed cup to allow the lavender aromatics to fully release as you sip.
