Flat white is a coffee variety that couples a double shot of freshly brewed espresso and milk, which is usually steamed to create a light, silky microfoam. A perfect flat white should have an intense coffee flavor, and milk should only be a complement, not a predominant element, while the froth on top should be less airy and bubbly than in the classic cappuccino or caffè latte. It is believed that the flat white originated sometime in the 1980s, but it is still disputed whether it initially appeared in Australia or New Zealand.Expand

Long black is a coffee variety that is often considered to be a close relative of caffé Americano. They both combine an espresso shot with hot water, but unlike its counterpart, long black is prepared by pouring or directly extracting the espresso into a cup of hot water.

Traditionally drank from halved coconut shells, yaqona is a ceremonial drink originating from Fiji. The preparation of the drink starts with a root of a local pepper plant known as kava, officially named Piper methysticum, which is ground or mashed into a thick paste that is then mixed with water and finally sieved and poured into large wooden bowls. The drink is traditionally prepared and drank on various special occasions in the community, such as settling arguments or sending members on journeys. Yaquna is characterized by its light-brown color and earthy flavor, and it causes a light tingling sensation in the mouth. The drink is also known for its pleasant, calming effect, which relaxes the muscles, but has no effect on the brain.Expand

Lemon barley water is a non-alcoholic, thirst-quenching beverage that is also used as a health tonic. The drink is made by slowly simmering barley, sometimes with lemon zest, until it is cooked.

Lemon barley water is traditionally enjoyed as a refreshing summer drink, and it can be served over ice or together with lemon slices. Similar combinations are enjoyed in other parts of the world, and in Australia, it is also available as a cordial.Expand

Koko Samoa is traditional Samoan drinking chocolate, and it's considered their national drink. It is made from Samoan cocoa beans which are considered of premium quality as there is no trace of bitterness in the flavor, making it ideal for drinking. After being picked, the beans are roasted and pounded, and the grinds are left to dry into hardened blocks. It is believed that the first cocoa plants were brought to Samoa from Peru by early navigator ancestors in 700AD. Koko Samoa is such an integral part of the Samoan life that the cocoa plant is protected by law. The Cocoa Disease Ordinance of 1961 makes it illegal to bring any cocoa plant or seeds into Samoa that might carry pests which threaten the locally grown trees.Expand
