Starbucks VIA

I have burned my tongue in the name of research!

I have just "brewed"(boiled) myself a cup of the new Starbucks VIA instant coffee,
Being someone who does not have a lot of time (or a regular coffee machine) I usually don't make coffee at home unless it's the weekend. I was quite intrigued by this new treat and I had to try it and see if it was as good as the real stuff and if it beat out Grandma Nich's instant brew (sorry Grams but that stuff just doesn't cut it for me!)
Upon opening the packet I inhale the scent and I'm pleasantly surprised at the familiar aroma, very Starbucks... strong and robust! There is only a slim hint of that "instant" smell.
I mix it with my boiled water, stir and voila! It looks and smells just like the regular brewed kind!
But the most important part of the test... does it taste the same?
Upon my first sip I am met with all of my expectations! It is rich, strong, fragrant and despite it burning my tongue I found the taste to be the same as my much loved regular version!
I would even buy it! (This was a sample)

Just wanted to share in my cuppa joy! ;)
