Following the successful 2012 launch of the Company's single-serve coffee offering on the TASSIMO system, Tim Horton's has reached an agreement to introduce premium Tim Hortons coffee on the Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee RealCup platform.  Under the terms of the agreement, Tim Hortonspremium-blend coffee and decaf coffee will be sold in Tim Hortons restaurants in Canada and the U.S., and online in a single-serve format.

Shanti Tea’s Chocolate Strawberry Mocha is one of two unique tea blends offered. Shanti Tea combines coffee beans with tea and flavorings, I was impressed by the other blend I’ve had from them, their Caramel Latte so we’ll see how this one compares. Shanti Tea combines coffee beans, tea (presumably black), cacao pieces, rosehips, safflowers, and natural essences together to create a unique blend of all things caffeine. Considering this cup has coffee beans in it, you would expect it to give a fairly dark liquor. To my surprise the liquor is amber gold and that is after brewing past their recommended 2-3 minutes. From my experience with their previous tea and coffee blend I chose to steep for 5 minutes. The scent of the coffee beans is definitely present with a sweet smell to it as well. While this tea is considered full bodied, you can’t expect it to be as black as a cup of coffee. The strawberry is pretty evident with the sweetness of rosehips, but the chocolate flavor is lacking. It was difficult to pick up on the chocolate alone since the coffee beans carry their overpowering flavor. Milk is not recommended in this cup, so I skipped it. Their other blend, Caramel Latte was definitely enhanced by the milk, but they suggested it so I’ll take their advice on this one. Overall, this blend is tasty and definitely unique, but I’d rather have their Caramel Latte tea and coffee blend instead. Still, a good blend to have on hand for coffee lovers.

We've had several readers alert us to the twitter account - Keurig Outlet (KeurigOutlet) on Twitter. We've also had several emails regarding Keurig opening an Outlet Store somewhere near the Keurig World headquarters in Massachusetts. Given the twitter account and the rumors we can only speculate at this point, but we would imagine the outlet store for all things Keurig probably will happen. From a PR point of view the store alone would be a great destination and also give Keurig a better idea of doing their own stores in the future with only Keurig licensed products. Sound off in the comments if you have any more details.
