Kahii Black Sesame Cloud

Try our best seller: Black Sesame Cloud

Calling all single-origin espresso drinkers to the Caramel Frappucino lovers.

The Black Sesame Cloud was created in an attempt to blur the boundaries between rising specialty coffee culture and sweet coffee variations.

Using black sesame in coffee has been trendy in South Korea for the past few years. We wanted to twist it in our own way and make it even better!

We’re proud to bring it to Sydney for the first time. With a unique recipe and methods using our proud coffee blend, Gatsby, it’s a perfect balance between the two strong flavours.
