Xarast Hazelnut Chicory Herbal Coffee

The first time I tasted hazelnuts was during a road trip to France, traveling in a Volkswagen bus through little villages in the French Alps, when my taste buds were tantalized by a jar of a scrumptious spread. My schoolgirl French was put to the test by ‘noisette’ on the label. Too good to be peanut butter, not almond, what was it? It was Hazelnut butter!

My love affair with hazelnuts began then, but it really came to fruition when I designed Xarast Hazelnut. I long since gave up rich desserts, but here was that mouth-watering butteriness with a nuttiness that keeps you desiring it way past the last drop. Hazelnut is what the word ‘savoury’ is meant to describe. Now you can enjoy something sinfully rich without worrying about either the calories or the caffeine. Oh, and with a splash or two of Frangelico®, the Franciscan friar’s Hazelnut liqueur, Xarast Hazelnut is guaranteed to send you beyond the beyond!
