As a coffee lover, I like to walk around the streets looking for the cup of coffee that I want most.

In the hot summer, which one do I like the most?

Without a doubt, it’s the iced Americano!

The original flavor of coffee is presented in the purest way. Without milk, it does not make you feel full, but still has a refreshing taste.

Walking on the streets of Hangzhou, I fell in love with these three cups of fancy iced Americano.

So what is a fancy iced Americano? This is the name I gave myself. The word "flower" encompasses several forms, such as adding fresh lemon juice, osmanthus water, or coconut water, sparkling water to Americano. These light forms give Americano a new taste. When the weather is nice, it is so refreshing to have one!

1. Osmanthus Americano

Different from the osmanthus latte I've had before, this osmanthus American coffee doesn't use osmanthus syrup, but osmanthus water that I soak myself! The slightly bitter and sweet osmanthus water is combined with blended coffee beans and a little ice.

It is not only beautiful, but also has a refreshing taste. It has a light osmanthus fragrance in the coolness, and the osmanthus flavor can still be tasted after drinking it.

The city flower of Hangzhou is osmanthus, so drinking it in the autumn season has a special flavor.

This coffee shop is located on Lianhua Street in the west of the city. It is a small coffee shop downstairs in the residential area.

It is so small that there is only a bar counter at the door. U2 Coffee was named after the owner who likes the band U2.

This is a simple and small shop where you can not only drink Osmanthus Americano, but also the excellent White Night (dirty).

2. Lemon Sparkling Americano

Sparkling water and coffee go well together, and it’s even better if you make your own sparkling water~

The first feeling is that it is full of bubbles, which is what sparkling water should have!

Then squeeze in fresh lemon juice and let the lemon juice and sparkling water blend together.

Add a lot of ice cubes and a glass of lemon sparkling American coffee is born!

It looks particularly beautiful in the sunset.

It tastes slightly sour with plenty of bubbles when you drink it, and with the addition of ice, it brings out different layers of flavor.

Coffee and sparkling water are very refreshing.

This coffee shop called Air Coffee is located under an office building. It opens at 9 am and provides bread and coffee, which really serves office workers. The most amazing thing is that this coffee shop is together with a noodle shop, sharing the same space, that is, you can eat noodles and drink coffee at the same time! It is both creative and practical!

3. Coconut Water Americano

If you like coconuts, or even coconut water, don’t miss this double treat.

If the proportion of coconut water is higher, the color of the coffee will appear light and fresh, and you will taste more coconut water.

But if the ratio of coffee to liquid is high, it may not look good, but you can enjoy a better taste!

This cup of "Coconut Water Americano" looks very strong. It tastes a bit bitter at first, but the mellow taste is immediately felt.

Later, when it starts to blend with coconut water, a wonderful aftertaste of sweetness appears!

It's refreshing and delicious. It's really nice to drink a cup on a hot summer day!

After drinking this refreshing ice drink, you won’t be afraid of eating any sweet cakes.

This is a coffee shop located on Tongpu Road in the west of the city. They roast their own coffee, and actually grind the beans and make the cakes in the shop!

From time to time, you can taste delicious but not very pretty cakes, as well as various types of coffee with a very strong taste.

As a lazy person who relies on the subway, I especially like to come here. After all, I can eat and drink surprises when I come here~

Is there anything better than having an ice-cold Americano in the summer?

I am still searching for a cup of delicious coffee. I will share the details next time.
