During the offseason we’re going to bring back Sounder at Heart’s favorite way to bond over non-soccer things. It’s Open Flavor Fridays, which sometimes happens on Saturdays or Sundays. OFF is our way to connect about things not soccer. We’ll discuss flavors and other things we love.
Beverages
I like juniper. I like pine and sage, cedar and oak. Beverages like gin make a lot of sense to me. These are flavors I understand. As a former coffee taster they are flavors that pop up in teas and tisanes frequently, and in some more delicate coffees. But the bravery of Starbucks (I’m certain others did it first, but they’re smaller) to put together a seasonal beverage with flavors that are non-traditional and not as sweet as their normal lattes is impressive.
