Curator says · Lee on Lyons 4.2 Curator rating

The salted caramel iced latte is a useful shortcut for sweet-coffee drinkers: cold, creamy and ready without a machine. It is best treated as an indulgent milk-led drink rather than a strong black coffee.

About Lyons

Lyons is one of the great names of British catering. J. Lyons and Co was founded in London in 1887 and grew into a vast food and catering business, with its tea shops and, from 1909, the Lyons Corner Houses that fed Londoners through the first half of the twentieth century. The company was so technically ambitious that in 1951 it built and ran LEO I, the first computer in the world used for routine business work.

Today the Lyons name carries on in coffee: instant coffee, hot chocolate and cafe-style sachets. On our shelf that means the Salted Caramel Iced Latte, a cold-milk sachet made for a quick cafe-style drink at home. It is not speciality coffee and is not trying to be; it is an easy, sweet iced latte with one of the most famous names in British food behind it.
