# Tahitian Orange Coffees The 'Caffe Rico' Makes Use of Authentic Ingredients from Tahiti By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-10-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-coffee References: [sprudge](http://sprudge.com/the-orange-vanilla-caffe-rico-at-menottis-coffee-stop-venice-beach-73092.html) & [menottis](http://menottis.com/) At Menotti’s Coffee Stop, an orange coffee beverage by the name of '[Caffe Rico](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nespresso-x-caffe-panna)' channels authentic flavors from Tahiti. Fresh ingredients like lemon zest and house-made vanilla syrup are used in the making of this espresso beverage. As far as the integrity of the drink, a close friend of the cafe owner often brings back bundles of Tahitian vanilla, which transforms the orange coffee beverage, cutting back on some of the sweetness found in comparable drinks. The Caffe Rico is an off-menu item that takes inspiration from the Vivace Caffe Nico served at the [Espresso Vivace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julius-meinl-and-kubus) in Seattle. The largest difference between these drinks is that the original is made from vanilla and orange syrups. In terms of presentation, the coffee is served in a silver cup dusted with cinnamon, alongside a small spoon and orange garnish. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Authentic Flavors:** Creating beverages that incorporate authentic ingredients from specific regions can provide a unique and immersive experience for consumers. - **Off-menu Items:** Offering off-menu items that take inspiration from popular beverages can attract adventurous consumers looking for new and exclusive options. - **Artistic Presentation:** Investing in creative and visually appealing presentation methods can enhance the overall customer experience and make the beverage more enticing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Coffee Shops and Cafes:** Coffee shops and cafes can explore the use of authentic ingredients and off-menu options to differentiate themselves and attract a niche customer base. - **Beverage Manufacturing:** Beverage manufacturers can develop new products that incorporate unique and authentic flavors from specific regions to cater to the evolving preferences of consumers. - **Hospitality and Food Service:** The hospitality and food service industry can leverage the trend of artistic presentation to enhance the visual appeal of their offerings and provide a memorable dining experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tropical Coffee Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-rum-float.md) - [Custard-Based Frozen Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-brew-frozen-coffee-drinks.md) - [Frothy Orange Cold Brews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-groove-cold-brew.md) - [Functional Indonesian Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-indonesian-coffee.md) - [Refreshing Espresso Tonics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-orange-flavored-espresso-tonic.md) - [Seasonal Coffee Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-cocktails.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Coffee Recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiramisu-coffee.md) - [Creamy Citrus Coconut Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-coco-treats-orange-crme.md) - [Creamsicle-Flavored Coffee Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-mate-orange-cream-pop-flavored-duo-creamer.md)
