00:01Hi, my name is Jack Marshall. I'm a food and drink reporter with the Lancashire Post newspaper and today I was trying something a little different, something which when I first heard of it, it didn't really strike me as something which I was particularly going to enjoy.
00:13So I was really curious to try it out and to kind of get to grips with something which was going to be, like I say, something a bit out of left field and that was a lavender latte from Costa.
00:23Now this is a kind of new release that they've done, different kind of flavour profiles. So yeah, turned up, grabbed one and I've got to say I was really impressed because when you think lavender, you think of something very floral, very kind of unique in its taste, something that didn't necessarily spring immediately to mind as something that I want my latte to taste off.
00:39But the taste was very much like a hint of, very much like an understated flavour profile. It wasn't like smacking you in the face with loads of lavender, which would just be a bit overwhelming.
00:50It was a really, really nice, subtle undertone, which kind of came through. You still got the power of the coffee beans. You still got like the creaminess of the milk, just with a little floral hint to it.
01:00Floral probably isn't the right word. It was almost like sweet and a bit fragrant. It was really, really nice, nice touch, really nice addition, something different, something completely unique.
01:08I can't really think of many other flavour profiles which are going to be similar to lavender. So yeah, something really, really different, something really new, something really completely strange and really tasty actually.
01:22So yeah, go and grab one, try it out for yourselves. I certainly liked it. I reckon I'll definitely try another one to see if it's one of those flavours which will stick.
01:29But yeah, really enjoyed it. Grab yourself one, let us know if you've tried one yourself and if you enjoyed it. But yeah, thanks for watching. Cheers.
