I've never forgotten the salt coffee I tried. The salted milk cap creates a subtle sweet and salty blend, breaking the traditional sweetness of coffee and leaving a lasting aftertaste. Enjoying a hot cup of salt coffee on a cold day in Hong Kong is both warming and refreshing, and it can also be served iced for a refreshing summer treat.
