When did pistachio first show up in Darwin cafes?

Where in Australia is pistachio biggest?

What is in a pistachio latte?

A typical pistachio latte, drawn from Darwin cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with crushed pistachio (a pinch over the top), pistachio cream (cream whipped with pistachio paste, about 2 cm), pistachio sauce (smeared around the inside of the cup before it is filled), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it sits on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 180 ml, stirred with a spoonful of pistachio paste). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for pistachio from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with new reviews or menus (14 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Darwin with all of a trend's names added up.
