The loose leaf is a surprising blend of colours: rich brown, light brown, tan, orange and something with a bluish hue. There are whole hazelnuts in the mix, and hazelnut is the dominant smell with undertones of chocolate. Once steeped the water is an orangy-brown. The smell is subtle and more apple and chocolate than… Continue reading It’s a medium caffeine

One-dimensional coffee
My coffee this morning is called pumpkin pie, but as I sniff it, I think pumpkin spice would be a more fitting title. Cloves are the dominant scent, it’s such a bold odour that I can’t even smell coffee. It’s a deep brown colour. The coffee tastes like spices with a strong clove aftertaste.

Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato time
The smell is a sugar fragrance mixed with sweet fresh apple. It’s in the after taste that the flavour is prominent.

It is pale creamy… Continue reading Apple Crisp Oat Macchiato time
