So the guys over at Coco Café just sent us a taster box of
their new drinks. I have three words:
New favourite drink!
They sent us two parcels. One was a box full of Coco Café’s
with both the Original Blend latte and the Mocha Blend.
It came in an awesome box, wrapped like it had been washed
up on the beach from some distant land.
I really like when companies add these personal touches. Business
nowadays isn’t about bombarding people with advertising, it’s about engaging
your audience and doing things differently. We also received a second box full
of all the different flavours of Vita Coco, which I was already a massive fan
boy of so I was pretty pleased with that.
Anyways down to the important stuff.
The Original Blend.
So what they’ve done here is mix a shot of coffee in with
some pure coconut water. Sounds weird, but it works. I chilled this beast for
like 2 days before drinking and it was awesome. I really like ice coffee, even
in the depths of winter, but I find that sometimes it can get a bit too sickly.
This is the ideal replacement. It’s not too sweet nor does it taste too watered
down which was my initial concern. The flavour is just right as well with the
coffee not being overpowering enough to keep you awake for days #starbucks, but
it has enough kick. This is an ideal drink for pretty much anytime of the day,
and it’s healthy too with all that coconut excellence. I’ll definitely be
picking up a few more of these for post training and just for lazy Sundays.
The Mocha
This one was slightly stronger in the flavour but still just
as great. It definitely has a slightly more chocolate taste to it as you would
expect but it’s still just as good.
It’s not as drinkable as the original but that’s just my own
personal opinion. I’ve actually seen more people around London sipping on the
Mocha Blend as opposed to the Original Blend. Either way, I see both of these
taking off the way Vita Coco has done, especially when the summer finally
arrives on this side of the planet. I also see the guys have released a vanilla
version which I didn’t get to try but it sounds awesome. Hopefully I’ll get my
hands on that soon!
Here’s some quick fire facts about the drink so you maths
nerds who hate reading can see how awesome it is.

No artificial sweeteners
Unfortunately you can’t buy it in your local Tesco’s just
yet but keep your eyes peeled or just order it online, you won’t regret it!
