This is very much a proper coffee alternative. I am reminded of the hazelnut coffee sweetener, with a nice sweet nutty aroma.
Steeping lessens the sweetness, but gives a more full coffee-like scent with hazelnut highlights.
The flavor is a very rounded nutty chocolate, with subtle hints of the hazelnut and coconut. I like that it works unsweetened, with a very mellow characteristic.
Not bad, it would probably be better as an early afternoon pick-me-up, with a bit of rock sugar.
