Giveaway #7 Orzo coffee hamper

More 414 Replies

I love a coffee or three. I drink mine black and strong and in a mug my grandmother used to use. I miss her and my did she love her coffee.

Here I have a coffee giveaway for you. Orzo♥Coffee are the first people to bring Italian caffè d’orzo (barley coffee) to the UK. It is very rich and smooth and is 100% caffeine free!

Now Italians love their coffee, but not many know how much they love caffè d’orzo (barley coffee). For centuries barley has been used not only as coffee substitute but as an health–enhancing drink. This product is grown, produced and roasted in Italy, in the Veneto region and is certified organic. You brew it just like normal coffee so no new drill to learn.

Top trivia: Children in Italy drink this coffee with lots of milk for breakfast, which is so much more sophisticated than the High Juice my sons quaff.

Here’s what’s in the hamper:

A bag of Orzo Coffee Originale: organic ground roasted barley 400g, £3.50
A bag of Orzo Coffee Pronto: organic ground roasted instant soluble barley 200g, £3.99
An eco-friendly jute shopping bag, £ 2.00
A Proline Coffee Maker (colour:  orzo green) to brew your Orzo Coffee, £ 12.00
A bag of Orzo Dolce: artisan hand-made barley sugar from Italy, £2.00
A free bookmark ‘ Keep calm and drink Orzo’
A free food clip to keep your Orzo Coffee fresh

This all adds up to an RRP of around £23.49!

  51. I subscribe to your blog, and read the posts as they hit my mail box. However I woondered if it has any sort of impact on your blog ratings as I obviously read it there and not online. Is there anyway you can adapt it to drive viewer numbers to your blog?

    I am also a self confessed coffee addict, Loved the fact that in Fringe – (Sky sci/fi program) Coffee was rare in the alternative universe. I think 90% of society would lose function if supplied depleted, especially at the offices I work in!

  61. As a tea drinker, I’d donate this to my partner who just can’t seem to stop obsessing about coffee….brownie points for me!

  64. this is intriguing ! sounds like a healthy alternative to coffee. would love to try x

  71. There’s nothing like a cup of good strong coffee to finish off a meal.  Like the sound of this coffee, thank you for a great review. 

  85. This sounds fabs being 100% caffeine free but still a great taste.  I’m a coffe-holic but have had had to limit how much I have each day due to being hyper from caffeine overload. 

  88. Oooh, addicted to coffee, could do with some decent caffiene free! :) @pipersky1:twitter 

  90. Wow this is amazing! Can’t believe it’s caffeine free, but still coffee. I know I struggle if I have too much caffeine, so this would be a great way to still enjoy the taste.

  92. I am trying to make the switch from caffeinated to decaf, especially at night as I suffer insomnia – probably not unconnected to the amount of coffee I consume! This would be a great and tasty way to help me achieve my goal :)

  93. If are around Winchester on the 29th of July, we will be the Food and Produce Show (it is a free event) and you can come and try our orzo coffee for free!

  385. I love coffee, but I’m not sure I ever had orzo coffee. I’m curious now!

    • Hi Maya! it does not taste like Horlics (as there are no added ingredients) but it has a sweeter and nuttier flavour than the real coffee and in Italy children love it! 

  392. It has been years since I last had Orzo coffee, just thinking about a cup is giving me serious withdrawal symptoms!!  My other hald would love it too so I would have to hide the prize from him as I wouldn’t get a look in otherwise!!! 

  394. I love this stuff when we go to the Dolomites. Never seen it before in UK.

    • This coffee comes from not far away from the dolomites, from the Veneto region! Happy you share our love for Orzo Coffee … having moved to UK I really could not live without it … and that’s why we started Orzo Coffee as company :-)

  396. I really do love coffee. It would be a must have on a dessert island for me. The colour of the coffee maker is fab. Great giveaway
