Passion De Cafe
With Passion de Café, we were inspired by the ever-increasing popularity of the coffee-shop culture in the UK, and wanted to find a way to bring quality coffee options in to the working environment. Developing drink recipes straight from the high street including cappuccino, latte, espresso and americano as well as babyccino, or hot steamed milk, Passion de Cafe does not compromise. With Passion de Cafe Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee and freshly brewed tea is offered along with granulated skimmed milk for a fair and ethically sourced premium quality drink that is healthier.
