Love, Love, Love These!!!!
I Initially Ordered this Sampler Set Mainly to Taste the Highlander Grogg to See How Close it Tastes to the Special (Limited) Edition Flavor Irish Coffee. My Best Friend Teresa and I Absolutely ENJOYED the Irish Coffee Flavor
-- Only Available in March -- and Chose Highlander Grogg as Its Year-Round Counterpart after the First Sip!
The Double Chocolate is Also an INSTANT Favorite with Us!
The Flavors that I wasn't Too Sure About -- Uber Dark Spanish Roadt, Ghana French Roast & the Nicaragua Medium Roast -- Have Become FAST Favorytes too.
What I Wasn't Sure about was How Smoky, Deep and Complex the Uber Dark (Spanish Roast) and the Ghana (French Roast) were Going to Be. Were they Gonna Be Perfectly Balanced? Over the Top Smoky? Slightly Bitter? Or Taste Burnt?
I know that if the Roaster Over-Roasts the Beans, They get Charred and LOSE the Delicate Aromatics that Make a Delicious Cup of Cacao. That Nalancing Act is SomeTymes Teicky to Pull Off. Cruo Bru's Roasters DO Pull Off that Balance SO Perfectly!!!
I Brewed Each Flavor Separately... Tasted Each WITHOUT any Sweetener or Creamer 1st to Taste the Blend's Complexities as My "BaseLyne" Flavor. Then Added My Sweetener and Creamer... and Just ENJOYED the Taste Experience.
I've Also Experimented by Combining Flavors together to See How They Taste Together. So Far... Uber Dark + Highlander Grogg and Highlander Grogg + Double Chocolate are Absolute Favorytes!!!!
