A black sesame latte, a popular beverage in South Korea, is gaining attention for its unique nutty and creamy flavor, often made with milk, espresso, and black sesame paste. This drink, known as Heukimja latte, is also enjoyed in a caffeine-free version. Its taste is described as a bittersweet blend reminiscent of tahini and Indian til ke laddoo. Black sesame is valued for its potential health benefits, including promoting healthy hormones, skin, hair, and heart, and is a familiar flavor in East Asian cuisine.
