## What should you drink to say you did it right?

What should you drink to really say you had a good visit hahahaha

It's this

### Signature coconut coffee

This menu item is so popular it has sold over 1.11 million cups and even holds a patent 👍👍

*Jeong Ji-young Coffee Roasters coconut coffee*

Sweet coconut coffee topped with soft foam (₩7,000)

> Iced only!

### Taste tip

For the coconut coffee, make sure to stir it thoroughly all the way to the bottom to get the best flavor!!!

Coconut coffee with a gentle, subtle coconut aroma

> With a patent behind it, this menu item won't split opinions

I expected it to be super sickly sweet, but the aftertaste is surprisingly clean. Usually adding a lot of syrup or sugar leaves a heavy aftertaste, but the power of the special recipe! Not heavy at all

And the iced vanilla latte (₩6,800)

> Good beans = good coffee

## How do you choose the beans?

You can pick your preferred roast level, like dark roast or medium roast

There's decaf, of course, and also high-quality specialty beans you can choose from — eek! Kenya Kiambu AA is genuinely delicious, found it, the tasty bean 👏👏👏 Now I don't have to travel all the way to Haenggung-dong for coffee like this anymore!? Successfully enjoying that exact same Haenggung-dong flavor right here in Seoul!
