Nestle Bonka - Spanish Mezcla Coffee (70% Natural / 30% Torrefacto)


Coffee Kitty is finally back from her adventures in Spain. With her she brought a treasure trove of coffee goodies. Among them, Nestle Bonka Mezcla Coffee which is basically the traditionally prepared coffee served all over Spain. It is mixed together with 30% Torrefacto prepared coffee beans which involves the adding of sugar to coffee beans during the roasting process. The end result is an awesome distinctive black coffee with rich flavour and aroma

The brown ones are the natural coffee beans while those prepared using the Torrefacto style are the distinctive black ones

I totally agree with the very roughly translated description from the package. It is known for the strong aroma and full-bodied coffee experience with a decent kick to boot

Aroma: 8/10
Authenticity : 8/10

Orbis Coffee - Turkish Coffee Gourmet Roasted in Dubai

Like a normal working day, we always start our day by having a cup of nice coffee in the office. Coffee Kitty decided to try out and share her new coffee brought back from her Europe trip last month.

Coffee Kitty brewed the coffee with her french press, and shared together with us. As for the coffee, it tastes just right for me, and closed to Columbia coffee but lighter. Overall, it's nutty and a bit of chocolaty. 

Nutty: 7/10
Chocolaty: 3/10
Fuity/Citrus: 1/10
