Black Sheep, a UK coffee chain, has unveiled its festive Christmas menu, featuring a variety of bold flavors and winter delights. I had the opportunity to preview the menu at a wreath-making event, where I sampled some of the new offerings.
One standout from the menu is the Mint White Chocolate Chip Matcha, particularly the iced version. Described as a blend of fresh mint and creamy white chocolate, this twist on a matcha favorite is described as smooth, sweet, and a delightful treat.
Despite not being a huge fan of matcha, I found this version to be exceptionally enjoyable. The perfect balance of sweetness and flavors helps to mask the usual bitterness of matcha, making it a standout choice.
The Gingerbread Latte was another highlight, evoking the essence of Christmas with its warming spices and gingerbread syrup mixed into velvety espresso. Topped with whipped cream, this drink is a comforting indulgence that captures the holiday spirit.
A surprising addition to the menu was the Fuji Apple, Ginger & Caramel Red Bull Infusion, a unique twist on the classic toffee apple. The combination of juicy Fuji apple, fiery ginger, sweet caramel, and Red Bull creates a flavorful and energizing drink perfect for the festive season.
In addition to the drinks, Black Sheep also offers savory options like the Pigs in Blanket Ciabatta and Brie & Cranberry Toastie. While these sandwiches were tasty, they were considered standard fare for a coffee chain.
Overall, Black Sheep’s Christmas Menu is set to launch on November 5th across all UK locations, offering a range of festive and flavorful treats that are sure to delight customers looking for a taste of the holiday season.
