Taiwan's 85 Degree Bakery Café adds, yes, salt to this new specialty coffee drink, and I’m told it’s a winner. Much the way many Taiwanese like to salt some of their fruit to bring out the sweet flavor, 85 Degrees salts this coffee with seasalt. Try it yourself on your next watermelon. That's how I grew up eating watermelon!
"It gives you three tastes. First, you get the slightly salty taste from the cold cream foam, second, the mixed taste of the salty cream foam and hot coffee, third, the aroma of coffee," says Ho Hsiu-ling, a university student in Taiwan. "It is amazing. I ordered it out of curiosity and expected it to be salty, but the taste is not entirely salty. It is salty and sweet, and is more fragrant then sugared coffee."
Salt coffee is just one of 85 Degree Bakery's many products, which range from traditional coffees to milk teas, smoothies, and more than 50 types of pastries. 85 Degrees currently has 35 stores in Taiwan, 20 in China, 4 in Australia, and one in the U.S. - opened last November in Irvine.
Why the name 85 Degrees? Simply because 85 degrees is the ideal temperature to drink coffee.
Take a peek at 85 Degree's Australian website since we can't read Chinese: http://www.85cafe.com.au/index.htm That’s the best I can do for now – salivate at internet photos!
