Lavazza Kilimanjaro Coffee Review

[spoiler title=’Click here to read the transcript’ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]Hey welcome to coffee coffee coffee. Your place for average Joe coffee reviews. Kayla, what are we reviewing today? Ciao a tutti! We are reviewing Lavazza Kilimanjaro single origin Arabica beans from Tanzania. Do you know where Tanzania is? Near Kilimanjaro. And where is that near? Near the mountaintop. What um continent is it on? Asia! No sorry. Africa. I was going to say Africa first and I thought maybe it’s in Southwest Asia or something like that. Yeah there’s there’s a map on the back of this so. See you tricked me. I thought, see my first inclination was Africa, then you tricked me. I don’t think… By acting like I didn’t know and then I thought trick question. Oh I see okay well anyway the point is.. Hey, quick question. Sure. Do you think if there was ever a man named Jaro and he heard Kilimanjaro he might think that that was a command of some sort? I don’t think so. I don’t but anyway… So this coffee is supposed to be crisp and fruity and again we love Lavazza. It’s our current favorite coffee. There’s a there are two particular roasts that we really like. Well Gran Selezionne is the one that we like the most. It’s the green stripe. Yeah and then the espresso roast is something that I really like. But anyway so this is supposed to be crisp and fruity and let’s see that’s pretty much I mean they’ve got a lot of marketing stuff on the back. It’s on a scale of one to ten and I apologize because previously we kind of made fun of their rating system because it was like from a 4 to a 9 but I see now it’s a one to ten and then they only give like a couple of different roasts that they do. Yeah so it’s on a scale of 1 to 10 it’s a 7 so it’s supposed to be really intense or pretty intense I would say it’s like a medium roast. So here we go. Got a good smell. It’s not like amazing like I want to sniff it all up. Right. So what are what are your thoughts? Overall? That I do taste some sort of fruitiness in there. I think earlier I figured that it was like uh apricot or something like that. Yeah. That was what I kind of… The only time I’ve ever had apricot are probably in like a bag of dried fruit. Yeah but I like I don’t know I kind of tasted a little bit of citrusy and there was like one time where I had a sip and I like kind of tastes caramelly. You said smokey at one point. Do you still? Yeah but I was eating bacon. Well that was probably why. So overall though I’m just not a fan of this roast like it’s. Not in comparison to the others. No but I mean just in comparison to stuff. Also there was like a beaniness a little bit not not too bad not too knock my socks off, but I was just like overall I wouldn’t buy again. Yeah. It was. Me either. Lavazza is on the upper range of like store-bought coffee. Yeah. Like if you buy it at Publix it’s like. $12 a pound. Yeah yeah yeah kind of expensive. Not that you can buy it in the pound. No. 12 ounces. Yeah or 10 ounces. I think their Espresso might be 10 ounces. So. Well does that do it for this episode? I think so. Pretty much all I have to say about that. If you want to find us other locations other than wherever you’re watching this video right. So I’ll name all of them then. We don’t know where they’re watching. Right. YouTube. Instagram. Facebook. or on our website coffee coffee coffee show.com so look for us on those social media places under coffee coffee coffee show.
