Uber: The most common – and oddest things – left behind by passengers “Ethiopian culture is an important part of my identity and I’m proud to work alongside the Blue Bottle Coffee team to shine a light on Ethiopian traditions, values, and of course, coffee,” he said in a press release.Ĭinco de Mayo 2023: Deals on tacos, tequila and margaritas. Samra Origins is named after The Weeknd's mother and honors his Ethiopian roots and the culture of the country long considered the birthplace of coffee.īorn Abel Makkonen Tesfaye in Canada, The Weeknd is the son of Ethiopian immigrants Makkonen and Samra Tesfaye. But this one is music for your taste buds.The musician has partnered with Oakland, California-based specialty coffee company Blue Bottle Coffee on Samra Origins, a new brand of coffee products, the first of which becomes available May 9. Okay, I have nothing else to say.The Weeknd is brewing what he hopes is another hit. I remember Dubba saying scoop shops tend to sell their mix ins so I think I might have to go buy a bag of these. They're just so addicting and full of flavor, it's ridiculous. They might also be one of my favorite Ben & Jerry's mix ins. On Second Scoop: I couldn't help myself and needed to have some more ccbbb with my breakfast this morning. Now can I get some Butter Pecan in pints next year? Great job Ben & Jerry's on successfully transitioning another scoop shop exclusive flavor into pints. Now did it give me a buzz buzz buzz? I'm not sure but that doesn't matter because my taste buds sure got one. I might even go so far as to say that this may be my new favorite coffee flavor. The coffee ice cream and espresso chunks just work in perfect harmony to produce a very bold flavor profile. I find myself loving the contrast in the flavors here. Ben & Jerry's doesn't mess around so they let their coffee beans shine through in this application. It's robust and not overly sweet like most coffee flavors tend to be. The base coffee ice cream is exactly the same as you find in Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. These chunks add a pleasant thud every time you bite into one which is very often seeing as they're everywhere. These tiles are full of flavor and aren't for the people who like to drown their coffee with chocolate. I kid you not, I was that eager to finally get my hands on a "new" Ben & Jerry's flavor. I literally swiped it from his hands and ran to the self-checkout. I didn't even let the employee put the pint in the freezer. That is until earlier today when I saw that they were in the act of stocking cccbb again. After going to the store multiple times over the next couple of weeks I started to lose hope. This seemed understandable, so I convinced myself it wouldn't be more than a few days until it was back on the shelf. Management wanted them to unload those products before selling the new stuff. After finding an employee I was told that they had found some leftover inventory from the flavor that was on clearance to make room for ccbbb. Upon returning to the store, I noticed ccbbb was nowhere to be found. I decided to forgo purchasing it and then stop back a few days later. I realized I left my insulated bag at home and didn't know how long it would take me to get the pint to my freezer. I knew Dubba would want to try the mint cookie so I was contemplating picking up Coffee, Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz! (yeah I'm not typing that out anymore). I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted two of the new Ben & Jerry's flavors in the case. I had stopped at a grocery store after classes to grab myself some lunch and decided to wander the ice cream aisle while my order was being completed. It all started on a windy day back in late February. Before we begin this review I have a story to tell you about finding this flavor.
