So, I can definitely see why this would appeal to come people but I was personally pretty turned off by this cup. It does taste pretty distinctly and strongly of a more roasty black coffee and, while I appreciated the roast note for the most part, I didn’t love how bitter and distinctly coffee like it was. I mean, I guess I knew it would taste of coffee but I suppose I was hoping for something a little sweeter. The downside to the roast was that it was accompanied by the sort of sour and sharp top note that I associate so heavily with chicory and I do not enjoy that taste. The spice mix itself was nice enough; cinnamon heavy with clove. However, it actually left my mouth feeling numb afterwards which was an incredibly weird sensation.
Overall… this is just kind of a ‘nope’ for me.
