Mulan's name was derived from a type of magnolia flower and we did our best to bring that to life in a beverage. The espresso stem gives rise to matcha leaves, where a strawberry foam flower blooms. This drink with earthy notes combined with light berry flavors reflects the balance Mulan found in her journey of self acceptance.

Hello friends, today’s post is a compilation of our first season of the espresso-nism series. Season 2 is coming up and we are so excited to share it with you! We’re also working on setting up our print shop and plan to have it running this summer. 🎨🖌️☕

Today's recipe is an easy way to add some flair to your drinks. The viscosity of honey allows the blue tea to float and create beautiful distinct layers. Make your latte with ice to help keep those layers separate. If you're looking to catch some of Ariel's waves, add your tea after the ice and pour the milk last so that it slowly disperses and creates a beautiful surf appearance. Stay tuned to our Prin-spresso series for more wonderful lattes 💙☕🐚

If someone truly loves you, they'll let you sleep in and prep this delicious latte for you. You can consult your magic mirror but we're pretty sure it'll agree this is the most delicious thing we've made yet.
