Café Escapes Chai Latte Keurig Single-Serve K-Cup Pods Reviewed

When my brother visited for a few weeks recently, I purchased 2 boxes of his favorite tea, Café Escapes Chai Latte. I was rather surprised by his choice since I have never known of him to be a tea drinker. He has always enjoyed a good cup of coffee, but not tea.

When he shared his new favorite hot drink, I was immediately reminded of Wednesday Elf's review a few weeks ago of Chai tea where she shared how much she enjoys the blend of spices in Chai tea.

Because they both recommended it, I decided to try one of my brother's Chai Latte k-cups. Clearly, the "latte" in the k-cups title informs us that milk is added. That is something else I have never done. I have never added milk to tea.

In spite of my misgivings, I was pleasantly surprised!

The aroma is the first thing I noticed. I could smell the blend of "savory spices" that Wednesday Elf described. With the first sip, I understood why my brother loves the taste. Thanks to them, I have discovered a new favorite black tea. I quickly added the k-cups to my k-cup drawer of preferred coffee and tea.

This Chai Latte has quite a unique flavor, one I find I cannot easily describe. It reminds me a little of hot chocolate or cocoa, which I love, but with additional tasty spices.

Chai tea touts several benefits including improved digestion, boosts immune system, reduces inflammation, improves heart health and more. That is an impressive list of health benefits which would be a lovely side-effect for me since I love the taste of the Café Escapes Chai Latte and the convenience of k-cups.

The mug used in the introduction photo above, is available on Zazzle.com. It is one of my own personal photos that I offer in the House of Sylvestermouse Zazzle Store on a variety of products. The Gray Wolf mug does seem totally appropriate for warm hot Chai Latte on a cold day.

Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K-Cups Reviewed

When I am chilled to the bone by the winter cold weather, I seek out my Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa k-cups for my Keurig coffee maker. There isn't anything better than a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day, especially when I need it fast!

I was hesitant to try the Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa simply because I don't normally like hot cocoa. In most cases, I much prefer hot chocolate. But, I really wanted a hot chocolate k-cup that I could make quickly when needed to warm up. So, I kept tasting and testing. My search is now finished and I extremely surprised that it has ended with a hot cocoa k-cup instead of hot chocolate. Regardless, I am thrilled the search is over and I have a k-cup that meets, and exceeds, my requirements.

Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K-Cups

Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa K-Cups, Milk Chocolate, 72 CountCheck PriceI tried several different brands of hot chocolate k-cups, but most of them tasted like nasty hot water. As I said, I was hesitant to venture into the hot cocoa k-cups. I really didn't wish to waste my money, again. However, the Swiss Miss cocoa is a real winner!

The Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa from the k-cup has a nice rich and delicious taste. Plus, it really does have a milk chocolate flavor just like the package states. Since it is made with water, and not milk, it isn't as thick as a homemade cup of hot cocoa, but it doesn't have that cocoa aftertaste.

Now, when I come in from the cold, I have a fast and easy hot drink to warm me up. Oh, and it is extra delicious with those little marshmallows added.

The Snow Leopard Mug

It is one of my own personal photos that I have made available on a variety of Zazzle products. The Snow Leopard mug does seem totally appropriate for warm hot cocoa on a cold day.

Visually, I think the marshmallows bring out the beauty of the Snow Leopard's gorgeous fur.

My mug is a little different from the one that is offered on Zazzle. In my desire to feature the snow leopard face, I didn't realize I had off-centered the image until I got my own mug in the mail. At that time, I went back into the Zazzle mug image set-up and centered the image on each side.
