Étoile’s Latte Tarik Is Kuala Lumpur’s Only Hotel Trademarked Beverage
KUALA LUMPUR, 17 April 2024 – The trademarked Latte Tarik was invented in Hotel Equatorial in the late Nineties to offer a coffee equivalent of Malaysia’s favourite hot tea beverage, teh tarik. Based on a double espresso selected for its aroma and intensity, the drink combines condensed and evaporated milks and is frothed to bring out the espresso crema. The result is a smooth, satisfying cup of perfectly balanced sweetness, with a luxuriant mouthfeel.
