The latte offers a balanced profile of robust coffee and creamy sweetness. The espresso provides a base of bitterness and rich coffee flavor, while the steamed milk mellows the intensity and adds a smooth texture.
The primary flavors are derived from the espresso – notes of chocolate, nuts, and sometimes fruit depending on the bean origin and roast – and the sweetness and creaminess of the milk. The thin layer of foam contributes a light and airy texture. Flavor can also be greatly influenced by flavored syrups, such as vanilla or caramel.
