3 Fall Beverages to Try This Season
As the seasons shift, our tastes often change with them, and there’s no better way to welcome the fall in Langford than with a delicious, sweet and spicy coffee or tea. Whether you like a rich chocolate mocha, a seasonal pumpkin spice latte, a classic steeped tea, or a simple fresh cup of coffee, you’re sure to find it here. But, if you’re looking to treat your tastebuds to something new, keep reading for our list of three fall beverages to try.
Cortado
The cortado, a drink originating from Spain, is a perfect choice for anyone wanting a smooth, creamy shot of caffeine. The word “cortado” means “cut” in Spanish, referring to how the steamed milk cuts through the boldness of a shot of espresso. Typically, a cortado is made with equal parts espresso and steamed milk making it the perfect canvas for extra fall flavours. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg or a pump of sweet vanilla syrup for a sweet twist on this coffee shop classic.
Spanish Latte
The Spanish latte is the cortado’s sweeter, creamier cousin. Made with equal parts espresso and steamed milk, this drink also includes a touch of sweetness, often from condensed milk, which gives it a velvety texture and a rich flavor profile. It’s a popular choice and more decadent coffee experience for anyone who wants to treat themselves. Feeling extra indulgent? Consider adding caramel or gingerbread syrup for a spicy and rich beverage you’ll love to the last drop.
Chai Tea Latte
While the cortado and Spanish latte are coffee-based, the chai tea latte is, well, tea! Originating from India, chai is a blend of black tea and aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger. When mixed with steamed milk, it becomes a chai tea latte—a creamy, spiced beverage that’s both addictive and comforting. Keep your eyes peeled for pumpkin chais this season—a yummy seasonal spin on this year-round favourite.
