I’m not usually an instant coffee drinker, but when Sandi from Javita was kind enough to send me some samples, I was more than happy to give it a try. She sent me the Burn + Control, Energy + Mind and Lean + Green.
Javita Coffee comes in nice single serving packets. The top is easy to tear off. Each of them have a slightly different smell. The powder is very fine and it looks like each one of them will easily dissolve in the water. I tried several different methods of mixing the coffee with water. (Hot water, Cold water and mixing it into hot coffee.)
The first packet I tried was the Energy + Mind. I thought that this would be a good choice since I am getting up there in age and they always say the mind is the first thing to go. Since I need more energy in the morning, I thought that this would be the best time to try Javita and that the mind helping effects would help me through out the day.
It is a good thing that the packets are easy to open since I am not at my best when I first get up in the morning. I put the powder into a coffee mug and added the water to it. The water was hot but not boiling. As soon as the mug was filled with about 8 oz. of water, the powder had already started to dissolve on its own. There was still a little powder on top so I stirred it for about 30 seconds and the rest of the powder dissolved into the water.
The first sip had a little bit of a bitter taste to it. After that it seemed to mellow out a bit. The taste was kind of a mix between coffee and tea. It didn’t take long for the energy effect of the tea to kick in. Before the cup was half way gone, I was fully awake. After drinking the rest of the cup, the energy effect that I was feeling stayed the same, lasting for at least a few hours. The only complaint that I had was that first sip tasted bitter to me, which may have been an after effect of my stirring method. The next day my method for mixing the powder was the same except rather than water I used hot coffee. The bitter taste from the first sip was not there and the energy effect was the same as the day before when I only used water.
Next, I tried the Lean + Green. Of the three this was my favorite one. I used the same method of preparation as I did with the Mind + Energy. With the Lean + Green, there was no bitter taste on the first sip and the flavor stayed strong through the whole mug. The Energy boost was there but not quite as strong as the Mind + Energy. If you are a drinker of Green Tea, you will really like this one.
The third packet I tried was the Burn + Control. This Coffee helps you speed up your body’s fat-burning processes & help you control your appetite. Again, the packet when dumped into the hot water dissolved completely very quickly. On the first sip it did have a slightly bitter taste like the Energy + Mind. On further sips, the bitter taste lessened. The energy boost from the Burn + Control was significant.
I would recommend all three of these, especially if you are in a hurry in the morning or if you are just looking for a good taking energy pick me up through out the day.
