i just ran across an interesting trend developing in Taiwan: Sea salt and coffee! Wu Cheng-hsueh, owner of a growing chain of coffee and tea shops called 85°C (the perfect temp. for brewing coffee) has found that by adding sea salt to a milk beverage (think latte), it prepares the palete for the drink by stimulating the senses.
i think last month, someone told me that they were adding salt to their coffee. personally, i only like salt on my micheladas ( a mexican drink). anyway, here is the link that describes a growing trend both in Taiwan and China! who knows, i might include sea salt as an option at the Bald Guy Brew…one pinch or two?
