Black Sheep, a coffee chain based in the UK, has unveiled its festive Christmas menu. I had the opportunity to attend an exclusive event where I previewed the menu offerings, which include a range of bold flavors and winter treats. One standout from the menu is the Mint White Chocolate Chip Matcha, particularly the iced version. Described as a delightful combination of fresh mint and creamy white chocolate, this festive twist on a matcha classic is smooth, sweet, and charming.
Despite not typically being a fan of matcha, I found this drink to be a pleasant surprise. It strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness, making it a favorite. Reminiscent of a Grasshopper cocktail, known for its minty flavor, the Mint White Chocolate Chip Matcha is a delightful choice for the season.
Another highlight from the menu is the Gingerbread Latte, a quintessential Christmas drink. Infused with warming spices and sweet gingerbread syrup, this velvety espresso creation is a nostalgic winter indulgence. Whether enjoyed hot or cold, this latte exemplifies Black Sheep’s commitment to excellent coffee and seasonal flavors.
Additionally, Black Sheep introduced the Fuji Apple, Ginger & Caramel Red Bull Infusion, a surprising addition perfect for the bonfire night festivities. This unique concoction blends juicy Fuji apple, fiery ginger, sweet caramel, and Red Bull for a refreshing and energizing drink that captures the essence of the holiday chaos.
In addition to the delightful beverages, the menu features savory options like the Pigs in Blanket Ciabatta and the Brie & Cranberry Toastie. While these sandwiches were tasty, they were standard fare for a coffee chain. Nonetheless, the standout items are undoubtedly the innovative and flavorful drinks that Black Sheep has crafted for the festive season.
Black Sheep Coffee’s Christmas Menu is set to launch at all UK locations on Wednesday, November 5th.
