    How is that called an espresso?

    People make distinctions on sugar now?

    What is a blond espresso?

    So many questions…

    • Yeah the name doesn’t reflect it’s true nature. I think technically it would be an oatmilk latte?

      Aside from regular white refined sugar, our stores sell light brown sugar and dark brown sugar. They’re not as refined and have the brown color due to the molasses that’s present. The molasses changes the flavor profile of the brown sugars. They’re used a lot in baking desserts because of the extra flavor the molasses imparts.

      Blonde espresso is called that at Starbucks because they use a lighter roasted coffee bean, as opposed to a darker roasted bean.

      They call it espresso because it sounds cool and that’s why they can charge more. It’s not an espresso.
