Review: International Delight Limited Edition Coffee Creamer; White Chocolate Coconut

I am always eager to try International Delights limited edition coffee creamers. I scooped up every single flavor during their Christmas holiday editions, I also scooped up all of their fall flavors.

Some of their limited edition flavors are fabulous, and others; well they tasted pretty rancid.
When I stumbled upon International Delights Limited Edition White Chocolate Coconut creamer, I scooped the bottle up, without even hesitating.

I am a fan of their coconut creamer, so I automatically assumed I would become an instant fan of the limited edition white chocolate coconut creamer.

Packaging:
 
The bottle that this creamer comes in, is probably one of the most attractive bottles I've ever seen made by International Delight.

It features a lovely piece of coconut cake surrounded by vanilla chocolate shavings. It's pretty hard to miss on shelves due to it's stand out picture.

My Morning Brew:
 
I got to using the creamer the very next morning. I brewed myself a cup of coffee, added 2 tablespoons of sugar, and poured in a fair amount of the creamer.

The scent hit me first, in the bottle the creamer gave off a very high note of vanilla and sugar. I really did not smell any notes of the coconut, but I sure as heck tasted notes of coconut the moment I took my first sip.

It has a very intense creamy coconut flavoring to it, the white chocolate notes are detectable, but they are very weak.

All in all, it's a good flavor, but at the same time, it made the texture of my coffee seem far too silky and creamy. I only used a small dash of the creamer, so I was pretty surprised to see that such a small amount could pack such a powerful and obvious difference.

Overall:
 
It is decent when used in very, very small quantities.

I am not to keen on the smooth silky texture it added to my cup of coffee, so I honestly wouldn't use, or buy this one again. I like the texture of my coffee to remain pretty much the same when I drink my coffee. I enjoy when flavor is added, but not when an over thick creamy texture is added.

However, if you have always been a fan of International Delights creamers, it is worth a shot if you like creamier cups of coffee; plus it will only be available for a short amount of time.

-Another limited edition creamer by International Delight that you may want to look for is Chocolate Éclair.
