Wayne – Wide Awake
Espresso Blend
I must admit I am
really enjoying trying new coffees at home. This time I tried St Ali’s Wide
Awake Espresso blend, which the tasting notes says tastes of Dark Chocolate,
Butterscotch and Almond Praline. This is what sold me and made me choose this
blend and I was not disappointed. This is an incredibly tasty drop that is very
much moreish. You may expect that this extra strong drop may be overly bitter,
but the sweet notes counteract the bitterness beautifully, giving it an
incredible mouthfeel. For an extra strong coffee, I have been drinking it like water. The aftertaste is delightful, and instantly as I have
finished the cup, I want more. The flavours are distinct and prominent, this is one for serious fans of a nice strong but tasty cup of coffee.
I paired my coffee with homemade blueberry muffins. The recipe I used can be found here:https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/old-fashioned-blueberry-muffins/
Charlene - Feel Good Blend
When a fresh bag of coffee beans arrive on your doorstep
and the blend is called “Feel Good”, what else can you do? The description on this bag of yumminess describes it as
having the the flavours of stone fruit, iced tea and chocolate and it is indeed
a smooth blend. I made my trusty long black and found while initially
deliciously soft on the palate it delivers a nice sharpness at the end. Lockdown has made me feel a little more
creative and so I stray from my usual long black (ssssshhhhh - don’t tell
Wayne, he’ll lose respect for me!). First I make a cappuccino and I must say with this
particular blend, I actually enjoyed it more than the long black! Definitely
more suited for a milky coffee. Now in case you have missed the Dalgona coffee craze on
social media, basically it iced milk with a high sugary froth too. However the froth is made with “gasp” instant coffee, so
I made myself a nice cappuccino with the “Feel Good” blend, left it in the
fridge and then added the frothy goodness on top. May I say I was in heaven!! This gentle, slightly sweet blend lent itself beautifully
to this drink! St. Ali delivers speedily which is also impressive when
you need your caffeine fix.
