tundra latte.

the lovelies and i hopped on the big jet and are visiting yayaa and papa for a few days..... doing the much needed grocery shopping and stocking up for the holidays...while getting our city fix.
our little town along the bering sea.
one thing about living in the "bush" is the lack of coffee shops. there are none... or very few. i miss sitting in cozy coffee shops sipping on a latte, while visiting with a friend, or reading the paper. i love the sights, the smells, and the sounds of a good coffee shop. while in the city, we get our coffee shop fix as well. today while ordering my vanilla/caramel latte, i noticed a list of "popular" coffee drink combos. one was the tundra latte. being the tundra gypsy, i had to give it a go. so i ordered one.
"a 12oz. tundra latte please"
tiramisu. irish cream. almond. = tundra
not quite sure why that combo equals tundra but, it's a pretty tasty treat. the almond flavor was a bit overpowering... and i don't know about you..... but when i taste almond, i don't think tundra.
when i do think of tundra, i think blueberries, labrador tea, and moss. maybe they just didn't have those flavors.  i don't think i'll be converting to the tundra latte any time soon.. but i did enjoy a good cup of joe nonetheless!

cheers!
