Available now for a limited time, Coffee Project's new spring drinks are inspired by the smells and flavors of fresh spring florals. The first of the new drinks is the Rose Cream Latte, which is a caffeine-free drink that starts with the brand's house-made rose hibiscus iced tea, blended with rose syrup and milk, and topped with a semi-whipped rose cream. Customers can also enjoy the brand's Rose Hibiscus Iced Tea on its own, which is a sweet iced tea with notes of rose and hibiscus. Finally, there's the Pandan Foam Latte, which is a returning, caffeinated drink option that pairs espresso with house-made pandan syrup and a [salted coconut foam topper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pjs-coffee).
