We all love the feeling of treating ourselves to a perfectly made vanilla latte from a great cafe. It’s a small, affordable luxury that can brighten up any day. But what if you could create that exact same delicious experience right in your own kitchen?
You can. Our Vanilla Syrup is the key. For years of being a roaster coffee bean supplier, we've crafted the perfect syrup to help you easily upgrade your daily coffee routine into a moment of pure, cafe-quality indulgence.
What Makes Our Vanilla Syrup Different?
Not all syrups are created equal. Many you find at the supermarket are just sugar water with artificial flavourings that can taste sickly sweet. We do things differently.
| Factor | The Blind Coffee Roaster Vanilla Syrup | Typical Supermarket Syrup |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Flavour | Comes from real, authentic vanilla bean extract. | Often uses a fake, artificial “vanillin” flavour. |
| Sweetener | Made with pure, natural cane sugar. | Often uses high-fructose corn syrup. |
| Taste Profile | Rich, creamy, and balanced — it complements your coffee perfectly. | Can be overly sweet and completely hide the coffee flavour. |
| Crafted For | Designed by coffee experts for the perfect vanilla latte. | Mass-produced for general use. |

For the Perfect Latte: We recommend using our El Chapel Espresso Blend. Its classic chocolatey and nutty notes blend perfectly with the vanilla to create a smooth, dessert-like experience.

Your Questions Answered (FAQ)
Is vanilla syrup the same as vanilla extract?
No, they are different. Vanilla extract is a very concentrated, unsweetened flavouring used for baking. Vanilla syrup is a sweetened, ready-to-use syrup designed for adding flavour and sweetness to drinks.
How much syrup should I use in my coffee?
A great starting point for a standard mug is 1-2 pumps (which is about 15-30ml or 2-4 teaspoons). You can always add more or less to suit your personal taste.
Can I use this syrup for baking or on desserts?
Yes, absolutely! It's delicious drizzled over ice cream, pancakes, or even used as a sweetener in whipped cream.
Is this vanilla syrup gluten-free and vegan?
Yes, our vanilla syrup is both gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
What is the best way to make a vanilla latte at home?
The best way is to add the syrup to your mug first, then brew your espresso directly on top of it and stir. This ensures the syrup dissolves perfectly before you add your steamed milk.
