Koigu's What's In Your Cup
Milk Tea with Boba Perles:
Boba tea, bubble tea or milk tea. All refer to a beverage craze sweeping the country, Milk tea is a black tea base with milk, ice and tapioca pearls all mixed together. Available in a range of flavours and styles boba teas come in all sorts of colours. Which naturally drew us in, like bubble tea in many ways Koigu yarns are available in many styles, weights and colours.
Suggested colour pairings: P468, P643, P026, P036, 2260, 5211
Matcha Tea Latte:
What exactly is Matcha let alone a Tea Latte? Matcha powder is made from finely ground leaves from a green tea plants. The powder is then brewed and blended with hot water to form the tea base for the latte. Before or after the frothed milk can be added depending on preference. In the end you’re left with a wonderful hot or cold caffeinated or un-caffeinated beverage. Weather or not its flavoured or an original matcha tea latte that light green tea colour always shows. Pair an interesting beverage with our array of greens available in our varigates and semi solids.
Suggested colour pairings: P564, 2132, 1533, 0000
Rainbow Sangria
It’s almost impossible to go out for a lunch or dinner in the summer time without seeing a variation of a sangria on the menu. Sangria is an alcoholic drink traditionally made with red wine, a variety of fruit and brandy or orange juice. Now a days there’s a ton of sangria’s made with white wine and even rosé. With a combination of white wine and a variety of fruits and juices the rainbow sangria is created. Drawing on the bright colours of the fruit in the glass here at Koigu we pulled these colours based on what we saw and hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
Suggested colour pairing: Koigu Hefty hanks, P123A, P441, P815, P851
Cappuccino
A coffee shop classic, a cappuccino is an espresso based beverage originating in Italy around the 1700’s and becoming wildly popular during the 2000’s with the availability of espresso machines. A long standing favourite of the Koigu team this classic drink keeps us vigilant and awake to bring you our best every chance we get.
Suggested colour pairing: 1300, 1305, 2395, P737
