Marley's One Drop Mocha Review


Here is another new item I found at the local Hasty Market - Marley's new Mocha drink.

Taste

The Mocha tastes almost the same as Marley's Coffee, only it starts off much sweeter with a touch more coffee flavour and a nice chocolate undertone. To be honest, I am not at all surprised, because when I think of mocha, I imagine a half coffee, half hot chocolate drink...or espresso and hot chocolate.

Not much else to say about this drink other than the coffee and chocolate flavours carry throughout and linger for some time in the aftertaste before the milky aftertaste starts to dominate. There are no foul notes or any unwanted flavours, such as bitterness from energy ingredients (the energy comes from coffee).

Energy

The effects are identical to those of the Coffee flavour - initial effects are noticeable within 10 to 15 minutes and the energy kicks in about 25-30 minutes later. The length of the effect is about an hour and a half because the drink is not trying to cram any additional caffeine from other energy ingredients so the energy comes all from the brewed coffee used as a base for the drink.

If you like sweeter iced coffees then get this. If you like them a bit less sweet, get the coffee flavour.

Scores:
Cost - $2.49 from the Hasty Market
Taste - 9/10
Energy - 6/10

Overall - 15/20...I love the Marley products since they all taste great and work as intended
