Cafechi Green Coffee Beans Drink

What will people come up next?

 

Green coffee beans beverage infused with juices for a new 'refreshing' coffee twist, without the 'roasted' part of coffee so to speak.

 

The ingredients listed organic brewed green coffee, Hobbit lime (What the hell is this??), raw cane sugar, fresh garden herbs and young passion fruit.

 

Truth be told, it tasted a lot more lime than coffee. In fact, there was no familiar notes of coffee to be found. The punch is delivered by the lime, a sharp, acidic peely hit followed intriguingly but a slight 'medicinal' earthiness and bitterness, which may or may not be from the green coffee beans.

 

As drinks go, 30RMB for a bottled beverage in Shanghai is 'an arm and a leg'. Novelty wise, it ranked high. Price and flavour wise, some freshly squeezed lime juice will probably do just as good and hurt the wallet a lot less.
