It tastes great.

I’ll probably never replace my morning French press. Maybe it’s because I live in Maine, and there’s nothing quite like a warm cup in my hands on cool mornings (which is most mornings, even in summer), but I also just enjoy the taste of rich, dark roast coffee. As I approach 40, I’m at the point where I don’t want a latte for the caffeine fix, or a glass of wine for a buzz, or an herbal tea to ease an ailment. I want to savor each sip of whatever it is I’m consuming.

When I was given the chance to sample Clevr, the plant-based, superfood latte The brand made two consecutive appearances in the magazine. Oprah’s Favorite Things List in 2021 and 2022, I was skeptical that a powdered beverage would be something I’d relish. My experience with drinks like protein shakes or other powder-based beverages has rarely been a positive experience, but I kept an open mind — and it was worth it.

Since recently transitioning to a full-time job, I’ve been more mindful of my nighttime habits so I can wake up feeling refreshed. In order to achieve this, I decided to try Clevr’s Sleeptime SuperLatte first, which promotes sleep and tastes like a “toasted cappuccino,” according to the brand. I mixed a small amount of powder with hot water using a frother. It was ready in no time.

First, I noticed a vibrant oat taste with a hint of smooth nuttiness. I was surprised to find that there was no grittiness or chalky texture, but rather a smooth finish, likely due to the coconut cream. The vanilla bean taste was also subtle. This latte has a very subtle flavor. This blend is a combination of earthy sweetness.

The next afternoon, when the afternoon came around, I decided to test the coffee flavor, It contains 50 mg of caffeine. Again, it’s not so much about the pick-me-up as it is adding some flavor in between all those glasses of water. Instantly I taste coffee. It’s not the essence of coffee but real, bold, strong coffee. This latte has a more buttery taste, thanks to the coconut creamer.

To conclude my testing, I prepared a cup Golden SuperLatte. As a big turmeric fan but not someone who could get on the golden milk train, I would’ve had low expectations had I not loved the first two lattes I sampled. I was surprised to find that the Golden is my favorite flavor of latte so far. The ginger, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon spice combination is delightfully warming, providing a tingly pleasure with each sip.

What is the final verdict? I understand the hype and will add the shoppers-favorite Chai SuperLatte I have my own shopping lists.
