The Latte Lab

Where Ritual Meets Restoration

You love the ritual of the latte. The steam, the foam, the creamy swirl. But you're ready to upgrade the ingredients.

At Lorica, we don't just brew tea; we craft functional bases designed to stand up to milk, fat, and sweeteners. Whether you're looking for a morning focus boost, an afternoon energy lift, or a calming evening wind-down, our blends are the perfect canvas for your favorite creations.

No jitters. No crash. Just pure, regenerative fuel.

How to Build Your Perfect Latte

1. The Base Start with a strong brew. Use 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of loose leaf tea per 8oz of water. Steep for the recommended time (usually 5–10 mins) to extract the full medicinal profile. Strain well.

2. The Fat (The Secret to Creaminess) To mimic the mouthfeel of a coffee latte and help your body absorb the fat-soluble nutrients, add a healthy fat:

MCT Oil: For rapid brain fuel (perfect for Lumen).

• Ghee or Grass-Fed Butter: For a rich, buttery texture (perfect for Phoenix Roast).

• Coconut Oil: For a tropical, creamy finish (perfect for Viriditas).

• Oat or Almond Milk: For a lighter, dairy-free option.

3. The Froth Use a handheld frother, a French press (pump the plunger up and down), or a blender to create a velvety foam. This is the magic step.

4. The Sweetener (Optional)

• Raw Honey, Maple Syrup, or Monk Fruit.

• Pro Tip: Add a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon to elevate the flavor profile.
