This is our flash brew, a standard iced coffee, and a star latte, mostly milk, and some espresso. Okay, Sam. Let's see what the tea is. Okay. Period. Oh, period. I mean, this is like a classic. This is a milkier, creamier, and that one best, like, slaps you right in the face. So to each their own, I guess. Cheese.
