Last Updated: 2025/08/21, When you think the coffee is too bitter, you may add sugar to it, but now some big-name coffee chains offer sea salt coffee. What's going on?

It is said that salty coffee (Salty Coffee), which has also become popular in the United States, first appeared in Taiwan coffee shops a few years ago, such as 85 ℃, which launched salty coffee and became the best-selling variety in only two weeks. What on earth do you want to add salt to your coffee? It is said that this has something to do with the fact that Taiwanese like to explore strange food tastes. Since adding salt can make fruits such as pineapples and watermelons sweeter, a small amount of salt does help to extract the mellow aroma of coffee. Just like Cantonese people add some salt when cooking, making the delicacy more layered and vivid.

In some countries, the traditional way to prepare coffee is to use brackish water or water with a small amount of salt to brew coffee, which has long been their habit of drinking coffee. They think that adding salt can improve the flavor of coffee and remove the bitterness from coffee. In fact, it's a chemical reaction. The Na ion in the salt disrupts the bitterness transmission mechanism, and this small adjustment can improve the quality of the whole cup of coffee.

Salty coffee and salted milk tea, which are now strongly promoted in coffee shops such as Starbucks and the Pacific, are inspiring and exciting for taste buds explorers who have no eating habits but like new flavors.

New products recommended in spring:

Rock salt tea latte: if the strong caramel is more suitable for the cold winter, then this touch of tea is more like the warning of spring. The pink salt looks moving, but it doesn't taste as sweet, soft and complex as it looks. The last drop is bitter. Isn't this the legendary first love?

Rock salt caramel latte: a little bit of rock salt in the Andes removes the bitterness of coffee roasting and retains the aroma of Camasuna organic coffee beans. In the thick fresh milk, the sweet and salty delicious collide. Build a piece of dark chocolate and use a little more bitterness to make the collision more intriguing.
