Tazo Iced Passion Tea Review

-


Happy Throwback Thursday guys. My throwback is to Tuesday. Not very far back lol. I posted about the 50% off deal at Target on Iced Tea K-Cups. I went. I saw. I conquered. I'm disappointed:(. I purchased the Tazo Iced passion tea. I didn't even look at the box to see that it has a whopping 26 grams of sugar per serving!! Are they for real? What the hell did they do, dump a barrel of sugar into the K-cup? Not cool man. Not cool. I am all for splurging a bit here and there. But I have a limit. I don't even add sugar to my coffee and I drink my hot tea straight. So this was even more of a shock for me. I think it's an outrage as well. I'm going to see if I can return them. I brewed one cup. Took a couple of sips. The flavor is definitely very sweet. Too sweet for my liking as it is without knowing it was 26 grams of sugar. I am very unhappy. I also have Iced Coffee from donut shop I received as a gift a while back I feel the same way about that too. It is "sweet and creamy". Pretty much disgusting and grouse is what I prefer on the labeling. Look I'm not going to go on soap box and say I am the healthiest individual. I have my days when PMS rolls in and you can surely count on me eating a bag of chocolate huddled in the corner somewhere lol. On the regular I try and keep it healthy.Yes I have a craving for diet soda from time to time. That's why I purchased the soda stream. It's all natural. Especially at least my coffee and tea. Which has amazing health benefits when drinking on a regular basis(minus the sugar). Coffee is said to ward off Alzheimers, type 2 diabetes, asthma. Tea has numerous health benefits: Lowering your risk of heart disease, cancer, cholesterol, cavities, etc. To drink anything like this Tazo Iced crap in a cup is just absurd! I give them 1 coffee cups out of 5 only for the slight flavor that tasted good for a minute. Then I got nauseous.



Okay so I'm done ranting... P.S. I found my diet soda and flavored waters finally at the Target. I love making the flavored waters and adding fresh fruit to them. I used blueberries today so yummy.

Cafe' Bustelo Review

Well this wasn't my first time trying Cafe' Bustelo. I read online it was the number one cuban coffee in America. All people drink it not juts spanish. But I know the spanish people rave about it. I have yet to meet a spanish person that doesn't have a brick of Bustelo in their cabinet. LOL. So I wanted to try it really bad. Well the first time my father in law made me the instant version in a regular drip coffee maker. YUCK. It was so bad couldn't even drink it. . Second time was last week. I got the regular vacum packed version. It was supposed to be the "espresso blend". I made it the authentic way with the stove top moka pot. I thought it would be good. It had a nice fine consistency so I was thinking great. This will be perfect for espresso. I really wanted to love it... But once again I was let down. It had a really bitter taste during and after drinking. Honestly , I didn't even finish it. Which the worst thing I hate doing is wasting anything in li...

Gevalia Espresso Roast Blend Review

-
Hello and here's to a special coffee weekend review ! Today's review is of Gevalia's Espresso Roast blend. Now I am partial to my Italian lover Lavazza espresso. That I love and reviewed it on my blog. But I did have this in my pantry, and it was next up to open. So here goes... I had gotten a special 3 boxes of Gevalia coffee for like $3.00 . It was a promotion, and I said you know I want to see what Gevalia is all about. I had heard of it before. The first box, I forgot what it was I think Creme' brulee decaf, ,and I love it. It was great for at night, or when you can't or don't want caffeine. The second box I opened was Vanilla Nut. Which I absolutely hated. Just for me at least. Mom and hubby liked it . Now I just finished my Italian espresso the other day so I decided to open my last box of Gevalia which was the Espresso Roast. It was friggin amazing !!! I even bought a little battery operated milk frother to make the rich creamy milk so I could do cappucci...
