MRB Advent Calendar - Day 13 (Sponsored by Douwe Egberts)

Welcome to Day 13 of the My Random Blurb advent calendar which is sponsored by...

Up for grabs today is a selection of coffees thanks to Douwe Egberts.

Inspirations Kenyan Sunset

"Bring a sense of African adventure to your day whilst savouring the full-bodied and exotic taste of this rich and sensual coffee, perfect for sunrise or sunset. Our master roasters rated this a Strength 4."

Having personally tasted this, I can say this interesting new addition to the Douwe Egberts range is both rich and special in flavour. Easy to make and very aromatic. This one is perfect for those who prefer their coffee a bit stronger than average.

Inspirations Brazilian Samba

"Put a spring in your step with this smooth yet exciting coffee, bursting with Latin flavour and passion. Our master roasters rated this a strength 3."

I found this one to be the perfect morning coffee, not to strong, but not too mild either - just perfect for kick starting your day. Again, it is a very aromatic coffee with a very special taste and flavour - something you can really enjoy.

Inspirations Eastern Escape

"Retreat to a tranquil and peaceful place, where you can relax and unwind. The delicate aroma and  balanced blend will help you feel calm and mellow, easing you through the day. Our master roasters rated this a strength 3."

This one was my personal favourite of three. Very easy to make and drink, very aromatic and flavoursome and perfect for anytime of the day. The coffee you can just sit down and unwind with.

You can find out more about the Douwe Egberts range on their website http://www.douwe-egberts.co.uk. You can also keep up with their latest news on Facebook and/or Twitter.

MRB Advent Calendar - Day 12 (Sponsored by Panda Liquorice)

Welcome to Day 12 of the My Random Blurb advent calendar which is sponsored by...

Up for grabs today is 1 months supply Panda Liquorice Blueberry Bars thanks to Panda Liquorice.

Earlier this year, Panda Liquorice brought you new Blueberry flavour liquorice pieces and

such was the overwhelming response that now new Blueberry bars are to be launched.

Blueberry liquorice was an entirely new invention this year - created by the clever Finnish

liquorice experts at Panda HQ in Jyvaskyla - the Scandinavian home of all things liquorice.

Panda Blueberry bars combine the pure and natural ingredients of Panda Liquorice -

molasses syrup, wheat flour, liquorice extract and aniseed oil - with real blueberry puree,

delivering a soft and chewy bar of liquorice. Panda bars make it easier to snack on

liquorice when youʼre out and about - so whether its a post gym boost, 3pm office treat or a healthier sweet for the kids lunchbox - Panda Blueberry bar is the perfect tasty, guilt-free snack.

Made with real, juicy fruit puree, Panda Blueberry harnesses the king of super-fruits and

contains no nasties - so you can snack away happily.

Did you know that blueberries....?

• Contain more anti-oxidants than any other fruit
• Can help reduce belly fat
• Help to keep you free from urinary-tract infections
• They help to fight heart disease
• They boost brain power!
• Lastly they can neutralize potentially harmful free radicals

Not only that, liquorice has some pretty amazing properties too:

• Liquorice is naturally 50 times sweeter than sugar!
• Liquorice is one of the most popular herbs in the world - it has been used for thousands of years by the ancient Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians and Hindus for its medicinal qualities.
• Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar are both on record endorsing the benefits of liquorice, as is Napoleon in more recent times
• Liquorice has been used to treat stomach and mouth ulcers, adrenal problems, even cancers. It is thought that it can slow the effects of aging on the brain. Most commonly it is used to treat respiratory problems

Liquorice has a few glamourous claims to fame too!

• It featured in Moonraker as the cable-car cable which was bitten by Bond villain ʻJawsʼ
• It made the shoe that Charlie Chaplin famously ate in a silent film The Tramp
• It was used to colour the Orkʼs mouths black in Lords of the Rings
• Celebrity fans include Madonna, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway

As with all the products in the Panda Liquorice All Natural range, new Blueberry contains

no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives - so you can feed to the kids

without worry. Panda Blueberry Bars are also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
