At the risk of rolling eyes with all of the purest types of coffee out there, I am what many call a “sublime” coffee drinker. When I see a menu with drink options like vanilla rose latte or honey hibiscus iced coffee, I wake up immediately (yes, even before caffeine is in my system). After all, a cup of coffee, if done correctly, can be a delicious pick-me-up, an all-encompassing sensory experience, and a moment of self-care rolled into one.

It’s also a habit that can get expensive very quickly. The usual price for a flavored latte is around $ 7 – that’s $ 210 a month if you make it a daily ritual. And as tasty as fancy lattes are, they are not exactly nutritious; the syrups are full of sugar, and when you combine them with the umpteen espresso shots, you see an impending sugar-slash-caffeine crash that will take hours to overcome. What does a chic coffee drinker do? This is where the Blume Latte Blend comes in.

The powdered beverage mix company offers flavors that rival even the hottest coffee shops: Think Rose London Fog, Cacao Turmeric, and Matcha Coconut. Any “fairy dust” (as I see it) is ready to be mixed into a decadent latte or tea – with or without caffeine. And unlike drinks made with syrup, adding flower to your drink actually does it healthier because the powders are made from nutritious herbs and other healthy ingredients.

My favorite mix of Blume is Blue Lavender ($ 21) made from lavender, coconut milk, and blue spirulina. I drank it with warmed oat milk in the evening to relax before bed. Lavender is known as the “plant of peace” because it is so closely related to calming fear.

The blue spirulina in the mix is ​​a type of algae that is a complete nutritional powerhouse. It contains B vitamins, iron, potassium and magnesium that have been shown to support healthy sleep. Blue spirulina is also full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and can lower blood pressure.

How’s that for something extremely soothing and stress-relieving that replaces those high-sugar syrups?

I have also found that making the lavender lattes is meditative and adds to the moment. I spend my time heating the oat milk on the stove and then adding the powder with a matcha whisk and bowl. As the powder mixes with the milk, the aroma immediately starts to relax me. I’ve come to enjoy the few minutes it takes to prepare as well as the drink.

Of course, you can also sip Blumen’s Blue Lavender mixture in the morning – for that caffeinated kick, just add a shot or two of espresso or mix it with your cold brew coffee. The soft, creamy taste of the coconut goes perfectly with your morning joe. You should also try stirring the mixture into overnight oats, chia puddings, energy balls, or fruit smoothies to give your breakfast an anti-inflammatory boost as well.

There are 30 servings in each Blume Latte mixing bag, which makes the price of around 70 cents per serving – a lot cheaper than what I’m used to in my local coffee shop. With less money and More health benefits, this stress-reducing self-care habit is an absolute win. Now I’m just wondering which mixture to try next.
