Today I got a special package arrived, and yes it's a gift from Starbucks, haha. Well, they know that I really love their coffee and it's something new that they want me to try.
Actually I got an invitation to join the workshop on 3th of September but I had a lot to do and just couldn't make it, and when I told them, they are kind enough to send me these gift ^^.
So, what I will do when I get some coffee, all I have to do is drink it, hehe. In Thailand, there are only 2 flavors of Starbucks "VIA" that you will find, the Ready brew Colombia and Ready brew Italian roast.
I already tried 2 of them and in my opinion I love the rich aroma of the Ready brew Italian roast more than Ready brew Colombia, may be because I like my coffee to have more depth and it will open my eyes, -*- I'm the people who always feel sleepy in the morning. My friend said that the taste of the Starbucks "VIA" is a bit sour (that happen in most of the instant coffee due to the process but she said it not as much as other brand of instant coffee), and I felt it too but for me it's acceptable. It's a good when you don't want to do anything more than cut the packet and mix with water and a bit of flavoring. For me it's great for making iced coffee, but you have to find out by yourself, people have different taste in drinking coffee, I can't say that you have to trust me, ^^.
Anyway, the thing that I love most from this "VIA" thing is I can mix it with any kind of liquid, ^^, hot or cold. I think that it will be good if I use it in baking too.
Well if you're the one that love all things Starbucks (like me, haha, you can see from my blog that I love it), or just want to try something new this instant coffee is in store now.
And beside from the coffee, I got the recipe too, and it's the most interesting part for me. So today I just want to share it with you.
My new toy, ^^ a stainless steel tumbler with 6 "VIA" containers on the side.

ReplyDeleteAwesome article and website. I wasn't sure you can do cold coffee drinks with the ready brew. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteFor a really good Peppermint taste, try putting an 1/8 teaspoon on warm, stove made coffee. It REALLY helps open your sinuses.
