….What the heck am I talking about, you may ask….
Well, I just (hum…yesterday) stumbled upon….this.
No, I did not stumble upon Miss Johansson (though in this issue of Vogue, she wears a utterly gorgeous silk dress by Nina Ricci that I won’t despise owning, should you know).
Look closer. The box.
It is a box of COFFEE PASTILLES.
Yes.
I know.
Me neither.
But yes.
I tried them this morning (no time to grind and brew) and it was….perfect (for a product like that) , flavour is there, no too sweet (well maybe if you prefer the beverage unsweetened, of course), not too bitter. Packed with the rich aromas you can find in a cup of Jamaican goes Arabica bean.
From Vermont!
AND green AND fair trade. AND delicious.
And practical.
So, problem solved. Wanna have your daily shot? No coffee shop around? No friends’house nearby to rush into to fix a brew?
It even smells good coffee.
No need to worry, my caffeinaddicted friend. Vermints is for you.
And a pastille lasts as long as a sipping of a cup. The cup is in your pocket, now.
Oh, yeah!

Hi Alyx
well, I’m glad to hear that, and happy that the info I gave met your requirements.
Your micro-review is terrific!
I’ll taste the pastries next month and will give you my comments 😉
Hey, quick comment (‘ ^-^), I’ve been to Kaffeine 66 in Great Titchfield Street and STRONGLY recommend it. Thanks for the tip!
Here’s my micro review:
Venue: very petite, yet trendy, clean and full of very thin people that make the space seem a lot bigger by comparison.
Customership: trendy, observant.
Staff: very friendly and tremendously skilled. I had a “latte to go” and they put the same time and effort as with coffees “on location”. The presentation is amazing.
The drink and food: the coffee was delish and to my untrained palette, it beats all other coffee houses by miles. Good quality/price offer in my opinion. Only objection is that the cakes weren’t covered (they’re all on display at about neck height where everyone speaks their orders)… I didn’t have anything to eat but I bet the food is great!
