Are your lattes coffee-based?
No! Our products are “coffee alternative” beverage preparations, which means they don’t contain coffee. However, some of our preparations can be mixed with coffee, such as Dirty Chaï (chaï latte with a shot of espresso).
Are you certified organic or vegan?
Yes, all our products are organic and vegan. Only our chai candied in honey is not vegan. So we developed the Wild version, with Agave and Date syrup.
What's the difference between La Main Noire and La Fabrique à Latte?
La Main Noire: preparations based on fresh, raw ingredients and preserved in natural sugars. This is a more complex and structured range, known as specialty products.
La Fabrique à Latte: all our original recipes, from fresh to dry. A powder format that’s much easier to use, for a more consensual, gourmet result.
What formats are your CHR products packaged in?
All our CHR products are available in 1KG format, in bags or jars.

Only the 1kg Golden Paste, Pink Paste and Blue Paste should be kept refrigerated before and after opening. Sub-void retails can be stored at room temperature up to 20°C. In hot weather, we recommend keeping all products in a cool place.
The La Fabrique à Latte range can be stored in a dry, temperate place.
Which milks are compatible with your products?
All milks are compatible with our products! However, we recommend a smooth, creamy plant milk that’s not too sweet.
Can the drinks be made into iced versions?
Yes, our preparations can also be made iced, as shown in this video: https://youtu.be/xjUkjJOKsRo?si=3JHEsmjA8rhusQW2
