Hamptons Lane- For Coffee Lovers

As a local living around the area surrounding Seattle, it is no wonder that I really enjoy a nice cup of coffee. However, I also like to have a nice cup of home brewed coffee just as much. Those many trips to the coffee shop can really hurt the pocketbook at times.Especially when they are on every corner. What better than a coffee company online that creates the perfect blend for you, or just makes it easier to get the coffee you really like delivered straight to your door. Well, ladies and gentleman here is Hamptons Lane.

What is Hamptons Lane?

Hamptons Lane is not only a monthly subscription that provides some great coffee, but also allows you to buy coffee that is specifically picked out to fit your taste buds. The goal Hamptons Lane has embarked on is they they want their customers “to have a unique experience, tailored to your unique taste. You can get the ultimate in coffee personalization by creating your very own blend. Select from an assortment of our fine beans and combine them to create your personal blend – made, named, and enjoyed by you and your friends.”

One of the very great tools Hamptons Lane provides is a Taste Profile quiz that after taking prepares customized recommendations based on your preferences in flavors

After taking the Taste Profile Quiz I was designated as…

THE CHOCOLATIER

Your addiction to cocoa is nearly as strong as your addiction to the coffee bean. Both have proven to be much healthier than we once thought, and always tasty. You can pair your cup of joe imbued with notes of hazelnut chocolate with a chunk of cinnamon dusted chocolate on the side.

Regatta Java

I got the opportunity to try this great Medium Roast Blend of Coffee from the Hamptons Lane signature line of coffee. Very Smooth, yet a hint of spiciness. I really do like Medium Roast coffees, so this was a perfect pick for me, and very good. A little more about Regatta Java blend:

Regatta Java -$15 for a 12 oz. bag

HL COFFEE - MEDIUM ROAST

A day at the races wouldn’t be complete without cup of coffee to match the mood. Regatta Java Indonesian and South American beans will excite you with a sweet snap at the first sip, followed by a nice smooth, yet spicy finish.

Hamptons Lane Boxes

Hamptons Lane provides some great boxes that fit many different taste, likes, and preferences of coffee. They provide you the option to buy some of their curated boxes, like my particular pick, Breakfast Blend Tasting box, which contains four 6oz. bags of their favorite coffees to start the day. Cost- $29

They also have the option to build your own box. You can hand pick any four 6oz. bags of your own coffees that you like. Cost- $26

 Create your Own

Another amazing feature at Hamptons Lane is that you can create your own blend of coffee. I went through the online custom blend selection and made a great little blend of coffee I call Tickled Pink Roast. What a great idea for holidays or company presents for all. Cost $14 for a 12 oz bag.

YOUR BLEND’S DESCRIPTION:

This full, sweet cup has delicious notes of cinnamon throughout.

TICKLED PINK OPINION: I really think Hamptons Lane has it all. You not only can purchase curated boxes that fit your coffee style, but you also can custom blend and custom desimake your own coffee. I do not think I have seen anything out there like this yet. I cannot wait to see more from Hamptons Lane.

RealBeanz the Brooklyn in a Bottle has visited Seattle

 I have to tell you a little bit about a recent delicious product that I had the chance to try. REALBEANZ.  Right away I have to tell you that this is the best coffee drink I have had, and I am in Seattle, where no Seattlelite goes without their daily caffeine intake, usually in the form of a cup of coffee.  So you would think I would not be liking a brand of coffee made all the way in Brooklyn, New York.  However, RealBeanz has officially won me over. 

 I have never really been into the big name brand retailer bought coffee drinks, because they were just loaded with calories and sugar. Quite the contrary though, RealBeaz, is not one of those brands at all. The only bad part is that it is impossible to find in Washington. The closest location to buy at a retailer is in Oregon, about  240 miles away. 

Needless to say, RealBeanz was very nice to send me a case to try. I had been wanting to try this talked about, tweeted about, intagramed about, RealBeanz drink for, FOREVER.  Why would you ask? Well, this leads me to the Bachelorette and Bachelor show.  I am an avid Bachelorette and Bachelor fan, and I watch every season. I have tended to keep up with some of the contests on their social media sites, and notice that a couple of my favorites from past seasons love RealBeanz.  One of the local Seattlelite Bachelor contestants, Lindzy Cox, tweeted about RealBeanz HERE, the sweetest Kacie Boguskie, and Graham Bunn did a great YouTube video about RealBeanz that you can see HERE and HERE, and Ms. OverAnalyst, herself,  Jenna Burke, tweets and instagrams her love for the drink often, and also works with RealBeanz. Thus, my intrigue into this drink I could find NO WHERE in Washington.

I was so excited to see this amazing box get to my home a couple weeks ago. Look how awesome the box is. Makes me want to move to New York, Brooklynn to be exact, right now.

I waited to post my review until I drank the very last one. I was trying to savor the goodness of Real Beanz to the very end. You can feel my sadness today, as I drink my last one! Haha.

Here are the flavors:

• ENERGIZED Iced Cappuccino;

• RESIST Iced Mocha;
• RELAX Iced Vanilla Nut;

• FOCUS Iced Caramel;
• TRIM & FIT Diet Cappuccino; and

• REFRESH Iced Cappuccino in DARK ROAST AND REGULAR Made with COCONUT WATER

After reading the website and tasting the coffees,  I am thoroughly impressed with RealBeanz. Not only are each drink lower in calories, especially the Diet and Coconut Water drinks, but RealBeanz has made it these drinks to help get through the day. Each bottle of RealBeanz is infused with herbs , floral extracts and 100% natural ingredients that help utilize your lifestyle desire (Relaxing, Focusing, Energy, etc.) 

Energized Iced Cappuccino has Ginseng, which helps give you a boost; Pantotetic Acid, which helps burn calories in to energy; Vitamin B12, which helps metabolism; and more all infused into the drink to help energize you without leaving you crashing afterwards.

My favorite drinks, yes, I have two were the Diet Cappuccino and the  Refresh Cappuccino with Coconut Water.  (Only 70 calories per drink!!) However, they were all very tasty.

Overall, these drinks were a hit in my book. I appreciate that a company is making a coffee that is not just focused on giving out caffeine highs, but also helping to curate a great drink, while also keeping in mind the health of the consumers at the fore front as well.

Now I only wish, wish, wish, these were sold in Washington! Woe is me!  I am out of RealBeanz! Sad face!

If you are interested in RealBeanz or would like to find a retailer near you, or order online you can HERE.

Have you tried RealBeanz before, if so, let me know what you think?

Until next time…
