(I kinda made this my tea section of the box...) I like those teas with the clear top. |
Seriously, TOOTSIE ROLL Hot Cocoa?! I grabbed 2! |
A serendipitous discovery while trying to find parking to go into Trader Joe's - I found CoffeeIcon. Whoa!
I was blown away by all the varieties of Keurig K-Cups. As you know, I'm usually a tea drinker and will only drink coffee if it doesn't taste like coffee. There are plenty of teas and coffee "drinks" to choose from. I especially went crazy with the 18 cup build your own box for $15.99. If you bring the box back, you can get a dollar off the next "refill". Individual K-cups are only 99 cents, so you can try before committing to a single flavor 24 count box, or just grab a few of your favorites, which will become many. I loved the three I've tried so far -- Cake Boss "Vanilla Buttercream" (yes, it does taste like frosting when you add a little Natural Bliss to it), CoffeeIcon branded "Salted Caramel Shortbread Cookie" (hello!) and Copper Moon Chai Latte. All winners so far, 15 more to go!
There are four locations in the North/West Houston area - Katy Cinco Ranch, Cypress, Magnolia and Tomball. For those of you living outside these suburbs of Houston, you can order online. The shipping may just be a wash considering the Grand Parkway or Westpark Tollway EZ Tag tolls. But it would definitely be a nice stop if you are in the area. I love the Fort Bend County Cinco Ranch Library, just a block away. Cinco Ranch also has a very nice Whole Foods (they have a taco and burrito bar!) and probably the best World Market store next door in the Houston area. Make a day of it. The La Centerra shopping center is chockablock with a great variety of stores and restaurants.
And by the way, that is a nice Trader Joe's around the corner. . .
