Some products land squarely on my radar for a JoshiesWorld review, and supporting small businesses is always one of them. One such brand is TruBiz Coffee Co., which kindly sent over one of its coffees for review. The product featured here is Kiss-Fist French Vanilla Coffee (Ground, 12 oz.). Before diving into taste, aroma, and overall experience, it’s worth sharing a bit about the company behind the coffee.

The Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen’s taste is self-explanatory because when you take a drink, you will taste the peach good. However, it is more of a watered-down peach than the full sweetness of the peach but not too much of a water-down in the peach flavor, which is a good thing! I think anyone with diabetes or who doesn’t like sugar will be surprised with the Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen, as my mother and Chad were, because they both have diabetes. Still, after I got a can to try, I also gave both some to try for themselves. Then they immediately fell in love with Monster Energy Ultra Peachy Keen, which says a lot about how delicious it can be.
