April Birth Coffee
Birth Coffee
Espresso con Panna
Espresso con Panna, meaning 'espresso with cream' in Italian, was selected as April's birth coffee as a sophisticated drink born from Vienna's café culture. The appearance of fluffy white whipped cream floating like clouds on rich espresso in a small cup perfectly expresses the psychological landscape of April, where new year tensions coexist with cherry blossom elegance. The two-stage taste experience, where cream's sweetness first envelops the mouth followed by powerful espresso bitterness, symbolizes sweet rewards and trials of new challenges. Despite being served in a small cup, the complex layers of flavor within give us the power to find small joys amidst new life pressures.
