In this guide you will learn how to pour an inverted rosetta tulip. This design is a combination of two techniques we have covered on this website, the rosetta and the tulip.
If you can pour both of those patterns this coffee art should be a breeze. If not, you should check those guides out first.

How To Pour An Inverted Rosetta Tulip
Below is my step-by-step guide on how to pour a coffee art heart. Make sure to also refer to my video above to follow along with the steps.
1. Pour The Rosetta
Begin by pouring a rosetta near the center of the cup by shaking your jug side-to-side at a steady pace while moving your jug back towards you.
Make sure to keep the spout of your jug resting on the cup in order to have more control. However, do not complete the rosetta design, but rather just the rosetta waves.
Then stop the pour.

2. Rotate The Cup
Next rotate the jug 180 degrees from it’s original position.
Now you will pour the tulip within the rosetta waves.

3. Pour The Tulip Within The Rosetta
Begin by creating the first tulip leaf circle in the middle of the rosetta waves. This is done by doing a subtle jug shake while at the same time moving the jug slightly away from you.
When you do this, make sure to drag the jug forward in order to distinguish the circle from the rosetta pattern.
Now repeat the same process above two more times but within the created circle. Now you should have 3 circles poured within each other.
Once you have done this it is time to complete the latte art.

4. Lift And Follow Through
Once you complete the 3rd circle, instead of stopping the pour, lift your jug up in order to create a thin steady stream of milk.
Now run this stream of milk through the center of your design in order to complete the design. And there you have it! An inverted rosetta tulip!
It’s not too much harder to do than the normal tulip but it is a refreshing change from typical patterns.
