Coffee has never been so good like Nescafe’s Frappé latte with a tasty treat — Kit Kat dipped in.

THE NESCAFÉ Frappélatt­e is the new kid on the block in the Jamaican market. It has been here for four months, and this ice-cream coffee is something that even the strongest of coffee lovers can enjoy. Nestlé has managed to make the perfect blend of coffee and cream – enough coffee to give that punch without overpoweri­ng the cream; with a rich, smooth, creamy texture and sweet flavour but not enough to dim the shine of the coffee.

Nestlé had a small tasting at their head office with three coffee and ice cream lovers – Project Officer at National Insurance Fund Diana Kellier, dancer and gym i nstructor Steven Cornwall, and owner of Kaelyn Creations – Hand Poured Aromathera­py Candles Shanoya Edwards.

Kellier was quick to let out the disclaimer that she was a black coffee kind of woman. Then she tasted the Frappélatt­e, and she was sold.

“The Frappélatt­e generously excited my tastebuds. Ver y smooth, pleasant, and exquisite,” she told Food.

Cornwall let out a pleasing “mmm” that could only be described as satisfacti­on. His compliment­s somewhat mirrored those of Kellier, adding that the coffee gave the ice cream an extra kick and that delicious was just not enough to describe it.

“Very creamy, goes down well. It has the Nescafé coffee taste that we l ove, but it is not overpoweri­ng. Overall, a greattasti­ng product,” Edwards added. On her second serving, she added one of her favourites – Milo cookie. Cornwall did the same. Kellier opted for one of her favourites – a Kit Kat.

All were further intrigued by the combinatio­ns of these sweet treats and ice cream. Senior Key Account Manager for Nescafé Frappélatt­e Trezar Lopez said that Nestlé did their research and found that this was perfect for the Jamaican market. Jamaicans love coffee, and their love for desserts is growing, so giving them the best of Nescafé coffee and the best of Nestlé’s ice cream, there is no way they could go wrong

Your Frappélatt­e may be had at gas station commissari­es, restaurant­s, and MegaMart Cost Clubs islandwide.
