'Boss Cafe Base Honey & Roast' tasting review where you can enjoy a slightly sweet and fragrant latte just by pouring milk or water

'Honey & Roast ', a new taste for a limited time, will

appear in Suntory 'Cafe Base ' where you can enjoy authentic latte and black coffee just by breaking it with milk or water. I added a flavor that feels the scent of honey to the taste of deep roasted coffee, and I said that I could easily enjoy the scent of honey with a latte even during busy periods, so I actually drank it.

The bottle of 'Boss Cafe Base Honey & Roast' looks like this. The content is 340 ml, and you can make about 10 cups of latte or black coffee.

A cafe-based: milk or water ratio of approximately 1: 4 was recommended.

The only ingredients are coffee, sugar and spices. It does not contain real honey because it is a 'flavor that feels the scent of honey'.

I poured 'Boss Cafe Base Honey & Roast' into a transparent glass.

The color of the undiluted solution is deep brown.

First, use milk and divide it by a ratio of about 1: 4.

When you drink it, the slight bitterness is wrapped in the mellowness of milk and spreads with a gentle sweetness. As 'honey & roast', I thought 'it might be pretty sweet before drinking', but the sweetness is modest. Although it didn't have much honey scent, it didn't contain any sweetening agent, so the sweetness was reduced and the aftertaste was refreshing. You can also feel the aroma of roasted coffee.

This time I divided it with water and drank it as black coffee. The bitterness of coffee was emphasized because the sweetness was even less than that of latte. At the same time, the roasted flavor, which was clearly felt as latte, has faded. If you want to enjoy the aroma of 'Boss Cafe Base Honey & Roast' and drink it in black, it is recommended to divide it by a slightly darker ratio than the 1: 4.

'Boss Cafe Base Honey & Roast' will be available for a limited time from May 26, 2020 (Tuesday). The suggested retail price is 278 yen excluding tax.
