Extra salt, please.

A coffee company from Taiwan hopes to teach Americans to love squid-ink buns and iced sea salt lattes. Stores in the 85C chain also sell cheap, and unusual, pastries. Just as Starbucks brought venti triple lattes to Main Street, U.S.A., 85C hopes that adding a little saltiness to the caffeine is a hit with American consumers.

    Does it still qualify as “the next coffee craze” even after two years of articles asking the same question?

    Wish I didn’t have to travel to CA or Taiwan to try this coffee. I’m really interested to seeing what it tastes like.
