Nescafé Kit Kat Latte (Iceland) – By @Cinabar

The problem with Kit Kat is that it is mostly a chocolatey experience. The most distinctive thing about a Kit Kat when you eat it is the texture, the snap of a piece breaking off and the soft crunch when you bite in. These elements do not translate well to a coffee. So, naturally, my first thought was that this would just taste like a standard mocha, with coffee and chocolate being the dominant flavours. Still, I was curious, so I bought a box anyway.

Once home, I put the kettle on and opened the box. There were seven sachets (limited editions never seem to have eight anymore). As soon as I tore one open, I got a sweet aroma. I mixed the contents with hot water, and it blended smoothly with no lumps, leaving a nice froth on top.

The drink smelled like a mix of coffee and chocolate. On my first sip, I thought I could detect a hint of wafer, perhaps even something creamy like vanilla. There was a slight edge that set it apart from a regular mocha, but as expected, it was very similar. Still, it was a lovely, soothing, sweet chocolate and coffee drink, and I will happily enjoy the rest of the box.
