Steeped Coffee Review Holiday Gift Guide 2019

This company does offer starter sets, subscriptions and you can buy their products separately. This company offers you a variety of different options which is nice. 

What is different about this type of coffee it reminds me of tea bags. Where you put the bag in your cup and then add the hot water and bam there you go. Although this is not tea and it is coffee. Steeped Coffee offers 5 different roasts that you can purchase. 

The first roast that they offer is Sunrise Blend Light Roast. This is winery, cocoa and lemon lime. The Sunrise Blend has a balance of cocoa and hints of fruit peeking through. This washed coffee from the Huila region of Columbia is a mix of Castillo and Caturra varieties. The unique of this blend is that they have a layer of dark and light to it. Which makes it a nice interesting taste. 

The next roast that they have to offer is their California Blend Medium Roast. This is a balanced, inviting, sweet roast. This is a classic blend that is one of our favorites. This is a balanced acidity and chocolaty body are complemented with aromas of dessert like sweetness and toasted coconut year around. This was one of my dads favorite out of the five. 

The next roast that they offer is they Odyssey Dark Roast. This is S'mores, dark chocolate, caramelized. This is characterized by its deep structure and full body, the Odyssey blend yields a dark chocolate flavor and caramelized sweetness for the best experience ever. This is like having dessert and not indulging to much. This is great to have a coffee after dinner like dessert. 

Driftwood Blend French Roast in the next one that they offered. This is a fudge, molasses, full bodied coffee. This is a smooth and steady, the french roast Driftwood Blend uses caramelization to bring together creamy dark chocolate and dark sugary sweetness for the most delicious of treasures. 

The last roast that they offer is Eventide Decaf Swiss Water Processed. This is Blackberry, molasses and graham cracker. If you want to have all the flavor without the caffeine, Eventide Decaf has never tasted so good. This is 100 water processed and you don't have to worry about any chemicals. This decaf blend is balanced with low toned flavors with just a hint of fruitiness to tie the whole experience together.

When it comes to slime it is banned from our house. It seems like every time that I let any kind of slime products in my house that it turns out to be a disaster and it tends to get everywhere and on everything.

When my children seen their ads on TV they always tell me they must have this and that I need to get it for them. 

What I like about their product is that you can play with it in the bathtub. Which as a mom I can handle the only concern was the clean up stage. The clean up stage was a breeze and it surprised me that it was so simple. How this product works is that you have a package that has two bags. One of the bags you can put in the bathtub and it you can play with the Gelli Baff. You mix it with the water and you have hours of fun. There are different kinds that you can get. You can get the princess kind, glitter kinds, and there are even some Gelli Baff that have scents. 

My children had a great time playing with this in the tub. If you don't want to put this product in your bathtub you can put it in one of those sandbox type of things. This would make it simple and you can play with this outside and it would reduce the risk of making a mask. My kids spent hours of playing with the Gelli Bath and they absolutely loved the feel of it and wanted to save it. When you want to clean up there is another package in there that you can open and put in the mix and it will make it liquid where it can go down your drain without clogging it up. To me I was pretty impressed which that option. 

Overall I was pretty impressed with the creativity of this product. Not only fun for the kids it was easy to contain and not make a mess. It was also very simple to clean up. I also liked how there was a huge selection for kids. You can find their other products at their website below.
