Coffee Desserts: Black Forest

Here is another food twist from URC: Great Taste Coffee Desserts Black Forest Flavor. I was excited when the product was first released around November of 2008. In fact, I was even invited in a sponsored event to give a taste test and feedback. The unique selling proposition was promising since it was the first coffee to have a new kind of flavor. Coffee is usually mixed with vanilla, mocha or hazelnut extracts but this one is infused with the essence of cake! What made the product more exciting is that black forest is my favorite dessert. The sweetness of chocolate and cream complements the fruity taste of cherry jelly to dazzle the taste buds.

But is the product holding up to its promise? Unfortunately, the faint black forest flavor is only noticeable in the aftertaste. A single 20-gram sachet may be insufficient to give intense taste when diluted in a regular mug. Either one uses 2 sachets of coffee or dissolves 1 sachet in less water in order to enhance and bring out the product's true flavor. Great Taste Coffee Desserts is a great alternative to the classic instant coffee . It offers affordable flavored coffee at around Php 5.00 per sachet. However, if it is flavor that you are searching for, it's best to stick to expensive, restaurant-grade coffee.
