ストロベリーショートケーキサンプラー

I was worried the strawberry would taste artificial but it's genuinely tart and juicy against the smooth coffee. The cake note sneaks in at the finish, which I didn't expect from a flavored blend.

The vanilla cream is what makes this work — it softens the strawberry so it never turns sharp or candy-like. I've been drinking it black every morning this week and the cake note comes through more as it cools.
