Cram Session Earl Grey Latte | Layered Drink Recipe
A multi-layer earl grey latte with tea, cream, and espresso to fuel your late-night study sessions—rich in flavor, texture, and visual appeal.
Specially crafted for those long hours of focused studying, late-night creativity, and bursts of inspiration, the “Cram Session Earl Grey Latte” is more than just a pick-me-up — it’s a ritual for complete immersion.
At its heart lies the elegant aroma of Earl Grey tea, where bergamot and fine tea leaves unfold gracefully on the palate, delivering a refined yet grounding base. Blended with the silky creaminess of our 808 Classic Creamer Powder, the tea’s flavor is enveloped in smooth, velvety texture. A final pour of rich espresso crowns the drink, lending depth, a gentle bitterness, and a boost of energy — stacking layers of flavor that make it a standout in any earl grey latte recipe collection.
The base is lined with chewy tapioca pearls and translucent coffee jelly — the pearls offering a satisfying bite with a subtle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tea and milk, while the coffee jelly brings a tender, coffee-infused note that glimmers like taste-buds’ little sparks. The middle layer blends Earl Grey tea and creamer into a harmonious dance of tea fragrance and milkiness, like the warm glow of a lamp in the quiet of the night. The top layer of espresso is poured slowly, creating a gradient from light to deep, evoking the focused energy of a late-night workspace. A drizzle of caramel sauce adds a final touch of sweet warmth and delicate sheen, making it a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds.
With the first sip, you’re greeted by the layered textures of pearls and coffee jelly, followed by the full-bodied richness of Earl Grey milk tea intertwined with espresso’s subtle bitterness, and ending with the comforting sweetness of caramel. Whether served in a café, bookstore, or during a campus event, this drink captures the attention of young crowds looking for that perfect photo moment — and becomes the ultimate companion for deep nights of study and creative flow.
