This morning I’m drinking Cookie Jar Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie flavoured coffee. It’s a rich darkness in my mug, but my nose doesn’t detect the notes of chocolate that I thought would be present. The taste is bitter black coffee with hints of mint. It’s not unpleasant but it isn’t what I was expecting. If… Continue reading Sharp Taste

Coffee
Have we sipped Van Houtte Dulce De Leche together before with its sweet smell of caramelized sugar? It has a bitter coffee taste with the floral undertones of vanilla. If we were having coffee, I would share with you that we finally got some rain and the smell of smoke has quieted. We still a… Continue reading Coffee

Crave Coffee
My coffee today is flirting with a bitter-sweet smell. The sharpest notes are bitter with hints of cooked syrup underneath. The taste is smooth. Because the coffee is hot as it flows over my taste buds my brain thinks warm, creamy, and caramel. If that is actually the case or just a trick of the… Continue reading Crave Coffee

Another Cookie Jar Coffee flavour
My first impression of the scent filling the space is of warm peanut butter cookies fresh from the oven! That sweet and nutty cookie dough smell that is interlaced with the oily notes of peanut butter. The flavour palate is oily roasted peanut, mildly bitter with an almost vanilla fade out. Big thanks to Cookie… Continue reading Another Cookie Jar Coffee flavour

Dropping Away
I watch it rise, the bottom seemingly dropping away. It’s a semitransparent blue, deceiving in its deadliness. Its apparent transparency is a trick of nature to draw in unsuspecting prey because although you can see the immediate area before you the vastness of its reach is extraordinary. The immensity allows undetectable threats to surface or… Continue reading Dropping Away

Coconut Cream Pie Flavoured Coffee
I love the smell of my coffee today. It fills the air with a sweet almost lime-lemon fragrance mixed with the bitter notes of coffee. I would expect this java to have an oily sheen, but it doesn’t. However, my first sip is reminiscent of oily coconut. Its flavour is both woodsy and roasted nut.… Continue reading Coconut Cream Pie Flavoured Coffee

Lacking sugar, whip cream, and Irish whisky
I have a Van Houtte Irish Cream and an Our Finest Irish Medley on my Keurig spinner. I decided to compare them this morning because I was curious to see what was similar and what was different. The Irish Medley’s bouquet is strong, filling the kitchen with the welcome notes of roasted coffee beans. My… Continue reading Lacking sugar, whip cream, and Irish whisky
