Feature Friday: Starbucks Cascara Latte
TLDR: This tastes exactly like a vanilla latte.
What made me try this latte is the fact that I got a Flash Pass from Twitter for a grande size Cascara Latte for $3 (FYI you can get special deals from Starbucks if you follow them on Twitter). Given that it is a latte, I had to try it.
The Starbuck's website states: "Inside each coffee cherry are the seeds we’ve all come to know as coffee beans. Cascara is the dried fruit of the cherry itself. It lends delicious, subtle notes of dark brown sugar and luscious maple."
I did not taste any maple or dark brown sugar what so ever. Subtle must mean nonexistent. This tastes like a vanilla latte, and luckily, I like a vanilla latte. Overall, it did not impress me, and I would pass on it next time. I hate that I didn't like this because I am getting bored with Starbucks' drinks, but I am not going to give up just yet.

As a college student, coffee has become one of my best friends. I used to hate coffee, and the closest thing to coffee I would get in high school was a caramel frappuccino (which we all know isn't coffee).
Today, I am an frequent user of my Vue System Keurig. It was passed down to me from my sister, and I hate the fact that there are not that many Vue pods on the market. What truly saved my coffee game was a K cup to Vue converter (the orange cup in the picture, purchased from Amazon). I have had it for almost two years, and it has never failed me.
My current set up consists of my Keurig, a drawer for my cups, assortment of teas (a combo of my roommate's and mine), straws, and cute little containers of hot chocolate, sugar, and cinnamon. Any excess pods are stored in the cabinet above with my coffee cups. I usually get my coffee cups from places I visit, from friends, or from Zulily (gives a great bargain on pretty much everything). The mug in the picture was purchased from them, and, unfortunately, there is not a brand on the mug itself.
Although I have this awesome set up, I am still a frequent visiter of Starbucks for my favorite chai latte or strawberry refresher, but, sometimes, I like a good old cup of coffee at home.
