Description

What Chiefeater VK Ordered at The Alley Penang

A quiet mid-afternoon stop at The Alley Penang on Stewart Lane turned into a much needed coffee break.

I went for a flat white, pulled using their Underdog Blend, and it arrived with a lovely surprise - a complimentary coffee bloom tea.

The bloom tea is essentially the first rinse of coffee grounds captured during pre-infusion. It’s light, floral, and slightly fruity, acting almost like a palate-awakening mini cold brew shot before the main drink. A small touch, but one that shows intention and hospitality.

The flat white itself had a smooth body with notes of molasses and berry from the blend, a combination of their Honduran and Ethiopian heritage.

How It Drank

Sitting at their brushed metal table, the combination of the bloom tea and the flat white flowed naturally. The former served as a refreshing clearance of the tastebuds after my lunch. The latter delivering the warm, creamy kick you expect from a well-made flat white.

The espresso had a tidy balance: enough acidity to stay lively, rounded sweetness from the milk, and a finish that lingered pleasantly and I especially like the berry flavour of the coffee.
