The pumpkin spice latte is undoubtedly the drink of autumn, as it has a sweet and aromatic flavor. However, the drink usually sold in coffee shops is not made with fresh ingredients, so at Kiwilimón we set out to create a pumpkin spice with a very Mexican touch, it will remind you of the traditional calabaza en tacha!

Did you know? The pumpkin is endemic to Mexico and other Central American countries, where it was domesticated over 7,000 years ago.
