\nSorry about that Junkies, I seem to have lost the month of April. No worries, that’s what post dating is for! And liquid because boy did we have a wet April. I actually had a plan to do all liquid reviews this April so I do indeed have the material. I just sort of ran out of April to do it in. Anyway, here’s the last of the Taste Nirvana coffee drinks that I picked up waaaaay waaaaaaaay long ago. Surprisingly, I have until September 19th of this year before the Thai Coffee’s drink-by-date. That just goes to show that it takes a lot to kill coffee!<\/p>\n

For a quick recap, the other Taste Nirvanas can be found here<\/a> (cappuccino) and here<\/a> (mocha). The cappuccino impressed us not while the mocha was really pretty tasty, except for a slight wandering bitterness. That leaves quite a bit of wiggle room for the Thai coffee right smack in the middle right? Let’s see!<\/p>\n

From the first whiff, there’s nothing really horrid about the Thai coffee. It smells of strong coffee that has been tempered with a “non-dairy creamer” and “full cream milk product”. That probably means that there is nothing spectacular about the smell as well and that too is a truism. It’s an…odd sort of mix of coffee, creamery, and faintly chemically but it’s not bad.<\/p>\n

It is<\/i> very creamy tasting. I’m not exactly sure what Thai coffee should taste like but if it’s slightly bitter, a little astringent but also possessing the coffee gestalt than this is that. It is also quite sweet and a bit thick, but smooth. It would make a much better mocha than a creamed coffee, but that’s because it’s really sweet and thickly creamy. Or non-dairy creamerey as the case may be.<\/p>\n

Of the three Taste Nirvanas, the mocha is still the best and the cappuccino is still the worst. This leaves the Thai coffee smack in the middle then as a decent but maybe not every day coffee drink. You can do a lot better out there in the land of processed coffee drinks but there is also room to do worse. <\/p>\n
