Review for FW/ Latte

Has a sour note that maybe doesn’t suit milk based drinks - Mocha Gold however is it’s normal predictable self and has excellent body for milk - black velvet however is marginal for me, but undrinkable for the other 2 coffee drinkers in the household

Kinda overrated

I ordered Black Velvet after reading all the hype about it but it's underwhelming. Not to mention it's overly acidic making it unsuitable for use with non dairy alternatives particularly soy.

Fruity and aromatic

For me I enjoyed, but I can tell if be over it over a few days. We bought this for our office (we normally order the organic blend which is our favourite) but decided to try this. No one liked it so I took it home.
