Gourmet Sugar Co Review & Giveaway







I've had gourmet coffee, gourmet cookies, and I've even had gourmet cheese. But one thing I've never had before in gourmet form is sugar.  But now that I've tried it, I don't know if I can ever go back to regular sugar again. At Gourmet Sugar Co, I found a product that has actually made me love my morning coffee even more that I used to.



At first glance, you might might think these were cookies. But don't be deceived by the adorable heart, flower and seashell shapes. These are yummy cubes of sugar that come in an assortment of interesting flavors. The cinnamon are my favorite for my coffee. It takes the bitterness out of it without diluting the taste. Flavored creamers can be too sweet. This gives you the perfect blend of flavor and sweetness. For tea, I found that the peppermint sugar really gave my tea an extra zing.


In addition to the two flavored varities, Gourmet Sugar Co also offers organic and vegan sugars. The vegan sugar tastes just like regular sugar but the ingredients used to make are 100% animal free. The organic sugar has a light vanilla taste and it is made from organic cane sugar. I loved all of the sugars and they were a wonderful addition to my table at my weekly get-together with some of my girlfriends. They couldn't get over how adorable they were or how much better the coffee tasted when they used them.



One very lucky winner is going to get to try these amazing sugars for themselves.  To enter, please visit the Gourmet Sugar Co, and tell me something interesting that you learned.  For additional entries you can do any of the following, but you must complete this initial entry first.
