Macadamia Nut

I’ve never had a plain macadamia nut, so I’m just thinking of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, and this tastes familiar. The coffee base is pretty mild again, mostly I just taste the flavoring that I suppose is nutty. It’s nice, though not super memorable.

Teeccino advent calendar Day 13. Another one that I really enjoy from this calendar! I don’t know that it tastes like a macadamia nut per se, but it does taste nutty and sweet and makes a delicious latte. It tastes to me like macadamia nut flavoring/syrups, but not necessarily like actual macadamias. Makes a delicious oat milk latte though.

The last couple of nut flavours I’ve tried from Teeccino have been a little disappointing because they haven’t really tasted accurate, so my expectations for Macadamia Nut were low – but it’s actually really spot on! I definitely found that this one was significantly less sweet than many of the other Teeccino formulations, but the macadamia notes themselves were rich and distinct. It was kind of weird to taste macadamia without either a cream or white chocolate addition since those two are paired together so much, but I suppose you could add your own cream or milk and easily solve that.

My main thing with this one is that, even though I liked the lack of sweetness, it was a bit noticeably bitter – and in a way that extended past just the roast and earthiness of the base ingredients and slight sharpness of the chicory/dandelion that’s always present. Also, it was weirdly oily in texture!? I think I need to try this with milk before really cementing in an opinion, and thankfully this is one of the few flavours I have more than one serving of so I will have the chance to do that. But it’s still pretty cool just how much it did actually taste like macadamia nut!
