Melya
Melya is a warming, indulgent espresso drink that marries the deep bitterness of freshly brewed coffee with the floral sweetness of honey and the rich earthiness of raw cocoa powder. As the ingredients come together, they transform into a velvety, dark-chocolate-like sauce before the espresso is poured over, creating a beautifully layered and aromatic cup. Finished with a touch of cream, it drinks like a liquid dessert — simple, comforting, and surprisingly complex.

The cocoa seems to coat the honey without mixing, so you get a dusty, sticky mass that looks as though it will never mix.
