Ooh, I bet Five would really like that.

Do you like it better than our (Jenny's--bc I owe my addiction to Jenny) Blackberry Green Tea?

emmawoodhouse May 18 2006, 00:39:58 UTC

Hmm. I'll have to think about that. I got it without whipped cream, so there's the caveat. It's not as sweet as the BGT, because it has that bitter coffee edge, and the flavors are more intense and tropical. It's not as soothing as the BGT one, but maybe more exciting?

Oh, for the love of God, Caitlin. I do NOT need another Frap addiction. I am only allowed to get three a week, and those are Mocha Lights!

I usually stick to the lights too, but when they have a new flavor I'm allowed to try it for research, and then get it again for a special treat only.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad (good) news, Jamie, but I've been told that the new banana-coconut frap comes in light.

zoofussa May 18 2006, 00:45:28 UTC

I saw that. Is it very coconut-ty?

emmawoodhouse May 18 2006, 00:49:02 UTC

You can definitely taste the coconut, but it's a toasted coconut flavor, rather than plain coconut, which is very different IMO. It's definitely not an overwhelmingly coconutty flavor, but if you hate coconut, I'd convince a friend to get one and try it before you buy a whole one.

zoofussa May 18 2006, 01:04:25 UTC

Maybe I'll do that. I am torn on coconut. And I already blew $4 on an iced green tea latte which was horrific.

Ooh, I just discovered you can get them without coconut -- you can get banana mocha frapps or banana caramel frapps (sounds way too sweet). I think the flavors of banana and coffee go together really well, though.

I just heard about it today, and I've already got big plans to try one tomorrow. I didn't realize that it's a coffee drink though -- I wonder if it comes in decaf. It better!

I was told today that the Banana Coffee Frap can be done in decaf, Jenny. I think the coconut one comes in blended creme - i.e., decaf.

You know, I miss the mint chocolate chip frap from last summer. Mmmmmm.

emmawoodhouse May 18 2006, 19:55:26 UTC

They have a Banana Creme one -- it might be a bit too sweet.

I was eyeing this at 'bucks today but opted for a Caramel Machiatto instead. Good to know that it's tasty. I'll definitely give it a try!
