The Drink: White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle from JarBee Coffee
Type: Ground Flavored Coffee
Overall Rating: 3.5 Out Of 5 Coffee Cups.

I’m very fortunate, my mailbox often smells like coffee. However, last week there was a box that really got my attention from JarBee Coffee. Inside of it was an aroma sampler of their White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle and it made my whole mailbox smell delicious.

When it came time to start reviewing the coffees that JarBee Coffee sent me, there was no question what I was going to start with.I had chocolate-raspberry cravings that I needed to satisfy.

The same raspberry aroma wasted no time filling my kitchen as the coffee was brewing. It made my kitchen smell like I was baking a raspberry pie.

When I poured a cup, a sweet, sugary raspberry scent dominated the aroma. I’m telling you, it smelled like fresh raspberries were in front of me. Mixed in was a light hint of chocolate. Overall, a delicious aroma.

There coffee wasn’t just one taste, there layers of flavors. At the top was a light-sweet raspberry taste. Underneath that was a mild chocolate taste. A rich, nutty taste blended in, providing the base. Throughout it all, it there were trickles of raspberry syrup flowing down the sides of my tongue. If you couldn’t tell it, I liked it.

The after taste was fruity, lingering on my tongue until the next sip.

Overall, exceptionally smooth with zero bitterness.

If you don’t like flavored coffees, this is a coffee that you’re not going to like. The scent and the flavor was almost overwhelming. However, if you’re like me and like flavored coffees, I suggest you give this one a shot.

White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle earned a 3.5, a well above average ratings and I’d go as far as to say it was one of the best flavored coffees that I’ve tried recently.

If you like flavored coffees, I recommend checking out their website. They might have the most flavored coffees that I’ve seen on one site. If you don’t like flavored coffees, don’t worry the next coffee I review from them will be for you.

The Fine Print.

Interesting Review. I’m Not Trying to Make This A Debate Or Anything, But Have U Thought About Rating Flavored Coffees On A Different Scale Than Regular Coffees ? I Mean It Would Be Different, Say A 3Cup Scale . 0 Meaning Strike(Non Drinkable) 1 Meaning Bunt (Drinkable) 2 Hit (Average) 3 HomeRun .As I’m Writing This I Just Thought Of You Liking Baseball, But It Wasn’t Intended This Way. Just Something To Think About I Mean Coffee Is Coffee But Flavored Coffee Is Flavored Coffee. I’m Not Trying To Hurt Ur Feelings Just Saying I Think IMO It Would Be Nice Idea. If U Decide U Can Take All The Credit 4 It. I Love What You Do & Anytime I Think I Can Offer An Idea I’m Gonna Throw It In Ur Cup. Please Don’t Think I’m Trying To Change Ur System I Like It Actually. Thanks For Reading! HaHa

hahaha! I like the baseball rating system! I have thought about rating different kinds of coffees on different scales – regular coffee, flavored, instant, healthy, single serve, etc. But so far I haven’t come up with anything that I like…however that was before you shared this idea. We’ll see!

No Pressure Just Thought I’d Throw That Idea Into Ur Mug ;) Maybe U Can Do A Review For Me On That Idea ! HaHa Rate My Idea As If It Were Coffee :D HaHa *Cheers

I am not the biggest flavored coffee aficionado–in fact, I rarely drink it, so as you mention in the post above, I probably won’t like this coffee. But now I do have a craving for something with raspberry and chocolate.

Yeah, this coffee is good, but I wouldn’t recommend it for you. Soon, though I have a feeling you’re going to like the next coffee that I review.

Sounds like a dessert. Would you say this is in your TOP 5 flavored coffees you have tasted?

Mike January 20, 2010 at 10:31 pm

I would say it’s definitely in my top five favorite flavored coffees. It was that good.

Will it be long before you drop off my free sample? Haha, I would love to try this but I am still working on some other coffee that is AWESOME right now :)

If you had been a newsletter subscriber, there would’ve been some on the way.
