Éclair – the lounge at Courtyard by Marriott is going to serve 16 flavours of cold and iced to piping hot coffee all of this month. From a cold brew of 24 to 48 hours to instant hot these flavours will be created from specially imported Italian Arabica coffee beans. The occasion is ongoing month long and is named as ‘Romance With Mr. Coffee’ fest.
F&B Manager Mr. Alok Kar said “For coffee lovers, its aroma triggers good feelings, memories, and wakefulness. Coffee drinkers smell the coffee and this signals the brain that caffeine is indeed on the way, which provides stimulation”.
He further said that “There are basically two types of coffee consumed most commonly worldwide -Arabica and Robusta – that grow from the two main species of coffee plants: Coffee Arabica and Coffee Robusta respectively. Although there are numerous varieties of coffee plants, Arabica and Robusta are the most popular.
Arabica coffees (or Arabicas) have a delicate flavour and balanced aroma coupled with a sharp and sweet taste. They have about half the amount of caffeine compared to Robustas. Robusta coffees (or Robustas) have twice the level of caffeine compared to Arabicas. Robusta coffees have a very strong taste, a grainy essence and an aftertaste somewhat similar to that of peanuts.”
The menu of the ‘Romance With Mr Coffee Fest’ includes hot flavours like Cocoa Cappuccino, Caramel Praline, Java Chip, Mochaccino, Affogato, Mr. Bean, Mexican, Spanish and Nukkad and cold flavours such as Iced Latte, Thai, Fat Americano, Frappuccino, Cold Drip and Iceberg. These coffees will also be available in Orange, Chocolate, Hazelnut, Malt and Fresh Lime flavours. This is the first of its kind coffee festival happening in Bhopal. If you are a coffee lover then you should definitely pay a visit and try some of the flavours.
