Lama latte, anyone?

Sure, the Dalai Lama's visit had all the elements of a big news story here: a domestic squabble over whether to welcome the spiritual leader; bombast from Beijing; and a Taiwan government still in crisis from its botched typhoon response.

But kudos to Reuters for cutting through all that and getting the real scoop: the groundbreaking "Dalai Lama latte" served up by one Taiwan hotel, in honor of His Holiness. (Imagine the commercial: "What, only half a cup? Don't you like my aura?") Drink up.
