The Nespresso Barista Creations Liminha Over Ice marked a recent addition to the annual series of capsules specifically crafted for creating refreshing iced coffees during the summer season.
Comprising a blend of lightly roasted beans infused with lime and mint flavours, this coffee diverged from the customary intensity rating. Housed in a distinctive yellow-hued capsule adorned with monstera leaf motifs, it stood apart from other capsules in the series by not requiring milk for preparation.
To make a serving, 90 grams of ice cubes were added to a glass, followed by an extraction of 40 ml of coffee atop the ice, and concluding with 90 ml of water. Upon tasting, a gentle acidity surfaced initially, accompanied by fresh peppermint hints in the subsequent stages. These peppermint notes contributed a mild cooling effect and a touch of bitterness to the otherwise smooth mouthfeel. A subtle touch of lime introduced a crisp citrus conclusion, lingering delightfully in the aftertaste without imparting sourness or sharpness. The tropical fusion of lime and mint introduced a revitalizing twist to the customary iced coffee experience that was worthy of repurchasing.
This Nespresso Barista Creations Liminha Over Ice contained 10 x 4.8 g capsules. It was produced in Switzerland and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
