The 'Scallion Latte,' originating from China, has taken social media by storm. This unconventional drink mixes caffeine with a layer of chopped spring onions, offering a unique crunch. Despite initial skepticism, it has polarized online communities, with many trying and sharing their experiences on platforms like TikTok. Coffee enthusiasts, including cafes like Golden Brown Coffee in the US and Australia, have embraced this trend, sharing tutorials and variations. This phenomenon reflects a broader trend in 'dark cuisine,' where sensory boundaries are pushed, introducing flavors like soy sauce coffee and even baby octopus lattes in China's mainland.
