Theo chocolate is based in Seattle’s Fremont district. They make the most incredible chocolates! Starbucks was testing Theo peanut butter cups in select stores, and my friend Melody went to Theo chocolate to get an up close and personal tour. During her tour, she sent me a message, saying she needed my address “right now”. I sent it along, and a few days later, a huge box of chocolates was on my doorstep, compliments of Theo chocolate. Thank you Theo chocolate & Melody! I put together a coffee tasting with the seven chocolates I was sent (actually, there is one missing because I had to taste test it 🙂 )…
Kopelani Blend cold brew pie
I am still obsessed with Kopelani blend. It has been my go to bean for cold brew for a few weeks. It makes the perfect cold brew, slightly sweet, rich, and heavenly. Kopelani translates to heavenly coffee, and I couldn’t think of a more appropriate name. Since I have been making Kopelani cold brew non stop, I thought it would be fun to make something with the cold brew. This coffee forward no bake pie has a Kopelani infused crust, cold brewed Kopelani inside, and ground Kopelani on top as a garnish. Layers of flavors and textures, all using this amazing coffee….
Kopelani Blend with tropical popcorn mix
Once again, Kopelani has returned to Starbucks stores. This tropical inspired blend made it’s debut in 2008, exclusively on the Hawaiian islands. A blend of coffees from East Africa, Latin America and 10% Kona coffee, the name Kopelani translates to heavenly coffee, and this coffee definitely lives up to it’s name.
This years blend of Kopelani is a bit different. The 10% Kona has been swapped out for 10% Ka’u, and the roast intensity has been turned way up! This dark roast has roasty sweet and caramel notes, and is prefect hot, iced, or my favorite; as a shot of espresso!
This is a limited time offering, and it will go fast (it always does)! Available in Starbucks stores and online!…
