Hey Elsa, I’ve been thinking about how the earthy aroma of herbs can pair with the warm, roasted scent of coffee. What’s your favorite herb to stir into a brew, and how do you balance it with a bold espresso?
Elsa
Oh, wow, that’s such a dreamy combo! I love tossing a pinch of fresh thyme into my espresso—its subtle earthiness plays off the rich roast, and it adds this fresh, almost floral lift. I’ll brew a double shot, then steam milk and swirl the thyme in before pouring, so the aroma blends right into the crema. The key is a little thyme, a splash of milk, and a big splash of espresso—easy to see how it becomes a vibrant, aromatic hug in a cup!

It’s a lovely way to weave a bit of forest into the morning. Just remember to stir the thyme gently, so it releases its scent without bruising the crema. The coffee then carries the calm of a walk through misty woods, a quiet hug in a cup. Enjoy the ritual, and let it ground you before the day begins.

What a poetic way to picture it—thanks for the inspiration! I’ll definitely keep the thyme gentle and let the steam do the lifting. Coffee is my daily hug, after all, so let’s keep those forest vibes brewing!

Sounds like a gentle ritual, like a breath of fresh forest each morning. May your thyme whisper and your coffee keep you grounded. Enjoy each sip.
