Iced Latte!
Another powder blend from Superbolt that feels like just a ton of ingredients tossed all together. This one is slightly less busy and more cohesive than the Performance Blend I recently reviewed, though.
It’s advertised as a ginger and grapefruit blend, but to be honest it’s really mostly a turmeric powder. Like a souped up/fancier take on a golden milk powder, I guess. A little goes a long way. Overall I thought it was pretty good! Definitely earthy with an aromatic heat to it. You taste all the named spices (turmeric, ginger, cardamom) even if the turmeric is the strongest one. I like the grapefruit inclusion a lot. It’s subtle in taste, but the bright fruity notes did make this feel different from other golden milk style powders I’ve had and it does make for a more lively cup too.
The worst part about this is the same as the last Superbolt blend I tried: the lingering sweetness after each sip. In this case it’s coming from monk fruit instead of stevia and ginseng, and to be I think that does make a difference. It’s not as intense or offensive even if I do find it strong, and the more naturally “brown” flavour of the monk fruit is more complimentary with the spices anyway.
I think I could see this growing on me…
