During a
recent trip to my local Walgreens, a US based drug store/convenience
store chain, for a couple of items when I stumbled into the isle that
had coffee and tea. On a whim, I took a look around and spotted one
of the store's brands Good & Delish and noticed that a 12oz
(340g) bag of Vanilla Delight coffee was reasonably priced within the
$4-5 range. Curiosity got the better of me and decided to add it to
what I was already picking up and brought it home.
One
thing that made me happy with the packaging was that I seem to being
up a lot in my previous coffee reviews is that it was easy to open
and is able to be resealed so that the coffee doesn't loose its
freshness. Breaking the seal on the bag, my senses were met with the
sweet floral notes of vanilla married with the rich sultry tones of
the Arabica coffee. Brewing up a pot of my new purchase, it wasn't
long before the room was filled with the fragrant aroma. As stated on
the bag as being a light roast, once the coffee was ready and poured
into my favorite cup (a glass coffee mug from Thinkgeek.com called Caffeine Mug that has
a caffeine molecule on it) I could see that it was a lovely shade of
amber. Just on color alone, it was almost as if I had just brewed up
a cup of Earl Grey or English Breakfast tea. Once cooled enough to
drink, I held the still steaming in my hands and took a sip of the
warm liquid, I found that the flavor was light and refreshing. For
those who don't like a strong tasting coffee with very little
aftertaste and no bitterness, this might be something you would like
to check out. It would be best if you're in the United States to
check out your local Walgreens to make sure that they have this
particular coffee available since supplies may be different between
locations. Unfortunately you are unable to order it online and prices
are not listed on their website for this.
