Hailed as "a deliciously stimulating blend of dark roast Ethiopian coffee & reduced fat milk", how could I not purchase a bottle of Adina Ethiopian Iced Espresso from Whole Foods, with the fierce-looking lion on the label? Priced at a harmless $2.39, the 90-calorie beverage made from fair trade Harrar beans makes more sense than the coffeehouse alternative. It's an organic, low-fat drink you can feel good about. But what does it taste like?
The package calls the drink "a crisp and deep bodied brew with a velvety hint of violet, fruit, and spice." Deep it is. This is no overly sweet coffee drink, so if you're used to the Starbucks bottled fraps, the strong flavor of this may be overwhelming. If you prefer the punch of a dark roast, then this is it.
Other flavors include Indian Iced Chai, Sumatran Iced Vanilla Latte, and Mayan Iced Mocha. So far, I've only spotted it at Whole Foods.
