Not too long ago, I heard about il Morso. Have you ever heard of it? Basically, it’s a bit of coffee without the cup.The makers tell us that we can “now enjoy the simple organic ingredients found in a cup of coffee, and then replace the cup with cocoa butter to make an il Morso. Also known as a mouth melting coffee bite.”
When asked how they came up with the idea, the makers said, “12 years ago we were slurping espresso at a sunny cafe in Milano, Italy. One after another, & each delicious cup came with a pastille of chocolate with instructions to submerge the morsel into the coffee for one final, decadent gulp.“
….. interesting, huh? So how do they taste? Let me tell you my opinions. I received four flavors, Matcha Green Tea, Coffee & Cream, Mocha and Cafe’ America. I’d have to say, hands-down, Americano was my favorite of the four.
The makers of il Morso believe that many people are over caffeinated, or even burnt out on highly caffeinated coffees and energy drinks. They believe that the little known secret of caffeine is becoming obvious – less is more. The breakdown of caffeine wasn’t as high as I had hoped, but it was caffeine nonetheless.
Coffee & Cream has 7 mgs of caffeine, while Mocha has 14, Matcha Green Tea has 7 and Americano has the most, at 18 mg. I should have known before I looked it up, right? I picked Americano as my favorite because it tasted the best to me.
The Matcha Green Tea was mild and tasty. Coffee & Cream and Mocha both had a strong coffee flavor that really appealed to me, although the Mocha flavor was slightly stronger. The Americano, I learned later, is vegan friendly for those who are interested, and I almost tasted the flavor of coffee on my lips well after the coffee treat was gone. YUMMM.
I love that il Morso is stimulating, uses whole food ingredients, is organic and fair, is earth friendly, and best of all, it’s portable. Each coffee treat contains 1g of sugar and 15-25 calories per serving. You can use il Morso for your busy days, for your workouts, and especially for travel.
