On its menu, the pictures make the [Rose Petal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-martini-bar) Milk Tea look almost too pretty to sip. Its rose latte is made with a blend of Ceylon and Assam teas, steeped overnight. The tea is then mixed with a rose syrup and 'Battenkill Valley Creamery' milk and topped with dried but edible rose petals. [Grace Street Cafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Grace-Foods) operates as a coffee shop in the day and dessert cafe in the evening but its rose latte is available anytime. With the recent unicorn craze, it is no surprise companies are looking for ways to make products that look just as delicious as they taste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Edible Flower Beverages:** Restaurants and cafes are incorporating edible flowers into their beverage menus to create visually appealing and unique drinks. - **Alternative Tea Blends:** Blending different types of teas to create unique and flavorful beverages is becoming a popular trend in the food and beverage industry. - **Hybrid Coffee Shops:** Coffee shops are starting to expand their menu options to include an assortment of snacks, desserts and alcoholic beverages to appeal to different customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry has the opportunity to enhance their menu offerings with visually appealing and unique edible flower beverages. - **Coffee Shops:** Coffee shops have the opportunity to expand their menu to include a wider range of beverages and desserts like rose lattes. - **Floral Industry:** There is an opportunity for the floral industry to sell more edible flowers in bulk to restaurants and cafes to meet the growing demand for visually appealing and unique drinks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Limited-Edition Latte Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-latte1.md) - [Fruity Rose-Infused Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-rose-white-chocolate-latte.md) - [Chilled Tea Latte Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earl-grey-flower-tea-latte.md) - [Functional Rose Matcha Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-matcha-superlatte.md) - [Floral-Flavored Cafe Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-earl-grey-bouquet.md) - [Plant-Based Lavender Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lavender-vanilla-almond-latte.md) - [Creamy Lavender Matcha Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-lavender-cream-oatmilk-matcha.md) - [Rose-Shaped Tea Bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-bomb.md) - [Mousse-Topped Sakura Lattes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-tranquility-mousse-latte.md)
