In a Fortune interview, Narasimhan said the beverage brought back memories of the coffee he had in India. “Skim milk, preferably. It’s a way for me to replicate the taste of South Indian coffee here in the US,” averred Narasimhan
He further revealed that the coffee chain’s whiskey barrel-aged Guatemalan coffee ‘amazingly surprised’ him. “It has no alcohol in it. It has a cube of ice. And it’s a wonderful drink that’s available in our roasteries, and I’ve enjoyed that deeply.”
