Thoughtfully sweet drinks that honor quality ingredients without compromise
Summary: At Lowinsky's in Hamburg, discover three genuinely sweet drinks—house-made chai, organic hot chocolate, and kurkuma latte—crafted with the same attention to quality that defines our entire menu. No sugar-laden shortcuts, just thoughtful sweetness that respects both your palate and premium ingredients.
At Lowinsky's in Hamburg, you won't find sweetened matcha, sweetened coffee, or sugar-laden tea drinks. Instead, we've crafted a thoughtful menu that honors the natural complexity of premium ingredients while offering genuinely sweet alternatives for those who crave them.
Why We Don't Sweeten Our Core Menu
Our philosophy is simple: high-quality coffee, tea, and matcha are already perfect. When sourced responsibly and prepared with expertise, these natural products reveal inherent sweetness, richness, and full-bodied character that added sugar would only mask.
A properly prepared espresso can taste like peach. Premium matcha delivers such rich, exotic umami that any fruit flavoring would diminish its complexity. These aren't just beverages—they're carefully calibrated experiences that showcase what coffee, tea, and matcha can achieve when treated with respect.
Three Sweet Drinks We Actually Recommend
1. House-Made Chai: Traditional Warmth with Natural Sweetness
Our signature chai represents everything we believe about intentional sweetness. We brew rich Assam tea with carefully balanced spices—cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves—then add oat milk and sugar to create a drink that's genuinely sweet without being cloying.
This isn't a syrup-based chai. Every batch is prepared from scratch, allowing the warm spices to develop their natural sweetness alongside the added sugar. The result is a full-bodied drink with layers of flavor that satisfy sweet cravings while maintaining complexity.
2. Organic Hot Chocolate: Customize Your Sweetness
What we call hot chocolate is actually organic bitter cacao—pure, unadulterated, and intensely rich. We serve it without sweetener as a baseline, allowing you to taste the chocolate's natural depth.
Want it sweeter? We offer three natural sweetener options:
- Sugar for clean, straightforward sweetness
- Honey for floral complexity
- Agave for smooth, mild sweetness
This approach lets you control exactly how sweet your drink becomes while experiencing the remarkable flavor of quality cacao.
3. Kurkuma Latte: Gently Sweet and Aromatic
Our kurkuma latte (turmeric latte) features a carefully composed blend of warming spices with gentle, natural sweetness. The turmeric's earthy richness combines with complementary spices to create a drink that satisfies without overwhelming.
This is an excellent choice if you want something mildly sweet that also offers the wellness benefits turmeric is known for—anti-inflammatory properties and digestive support.
The Lowinsky's Difference
While other Hamburg cafés compete on Instagram-worthy sweetness, we've taken a different path. We believe that if you're going to drink something sweet, it should be thoughtfully sweet—not just sugar masking mediocre ingredients.
Our three sweet options aren't afterthoughts. They're crafted with the same attention to quality and preparation that defines our entire menu. Whether you're exploring matcha for the first time or you're a seasoned specialty coffee drinker, you'll find that our approach to sweetness respects both your palate and the ingredients.
