Our Iced Black had some boldness and acidity yes kudos to them, but in exceedingly muted notes. Overall it tasted very flat and oddly a little lukewarm?

Their Mount Sweden I thought sounded really promising, with a frozen espresso “mountain”, milk, coconut milk, gula melaka, and coffee jelly. But it turned out a lot less impressive 🙃 It could’ve been a fabulous drink if I could actually taste the coffee, but it took waaaaaay too long to melt. Which might have been salvageable with some patience — if it were the only frozen component in the drink. In order to prop up that frozen espresso mountain so it looks aesthetically pleasing, there were toooons of ice cubes placed beneath. Which also makes it harder for the espresso to melt + by the time it does every other component just tastes diluted. Down to the individual components: I could taste the gula melaka but it wasn’t punchy and sorta tasted like a syrup instead. Would’ve liked it to be more aggressive. Coffee jelly’s not bad, and I like the balance of milk to syrup there’s not too much of either. On the whole, it’s still a fail for me. It could taste decent at the first sip, but if I’m waiting for the espresso to melt and all I get in the end is some watered down milk and sweetener then…nah bruh.
