Black Swan

The caffeinated drink "Black Swan" is essentially half white mocha and half house drip. To get the exact flavor of the original Black Swan, use Organic Mexican Black coffee.

The drink was created by Yelena Tsurkan in the cafe Micro Yali's in UC Berkeley Valley Life Sciences Building. The creator of the drink, was never a fan of very sweet coffee drinks. She preferred her coffee black. Once, as she was making someone a white mocha, she could not resist the smell of the delicious syrup. After the customer left, she made herself a white mocha but once again was reminded that she did not like sweet drinks. Yelena then poured half of it out and debated whether to add milk or hot water to it. On impulse, she went over to the coffee maker and added coffee to the remainder of the cup. The drink was an immediate hit.
