Coffee is what keeps me alive. Not literately…but it keeps me sane, (I know thats sad). If I miss my morning cup of Joe, I’m groggy, angry, and moody.
I like my coffee with flavor. I can’t drink a cup without any sugar or cream in it like some folks can. I like variety, and I like trying new things, especially when it comes to my coffee creamer.
When I find something I like I will buy it time and time again, but if a company releases a limited edition flavor, I want to be the first greedy gut on line checking out.
Last month while in my local supermarket I of course stop into the dairy section to check out what available creamers are there. It is after all, the time of the year where coffee cream companies release limited edition flavors. International Delight released 2 new fall flavors, Vanilla Caramel Brownie, and Pumpkin Pie Spice.
I grabbed Pumpkin Pie Spice, because I had this hunch that Vanilla Caramel Brownie would taste very similar to the regular French Vanilla.
I assume that International Delight only sells these limited edition flavors in smaller 16 ounce bottles, because I was not able to find the large bottle, which I would have preferred! Oh well.
At home I peeled of the protection label, and was greeted with a warm scent of pumpkin pie. It smelled pretty damn realistic to what an actual baked pumpkin pie would smell like. It was a bit strong, and spicy with notes of cinnamon. I wondered if I would like this particular flavor in my coffee at that moment…because it did seem a bit too over powering.
After brewing up a cup of coffee I poured in a small swig of Pumpkin Pie Spice. I didn’t want to pour in too much, because the scent was overpowering. There is nothing I hate more than coffee creamer where the flavor over powers the taste of the actual coffee flavor.
I took a sip of my fall cup of coffee, and …
It was good. Really good actually. International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice, spiced up my coffee with a creamy pumpkin flavor, and a hint of cinnamon that did not over power the taste of my coffee.
It is my opinion that for Pumpkin Pie Spice is meant for those who absolutely adore pumpkin pie. I think it is perfect that International Delight released this limited edition flavor for the fall. It’s probably a good thing that this flavor only comes in a smaller bottle, too much of it, and you will get sick of it; and fast.
Availability:
If you want to give Pumpkin Pie Spice a try it is still available at local grocery stores, down the dairy isle. It will most likely stick around till January. Buy it now before it is gone.
