Fraus: Banana - North Melbourne

Banana
So this is my first Fraus since the store has been renovated. There is now a section for delicate truffles, the rear wall is covered in chocolate boxes, and there is new furniture.

Another thing is the new style of super wide mug, which is good because it means the steaming hot drink can cool off faster. One thing that hasn’t changed is the delicious taste. The banana was right there from the get go. The combo of sweet banana and dark chocolate is heavenly. And of course with all Fraus’s it is smooth and rich. The banana makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, and fruity flavour stays in the back of your throat.

Because the new cups cool down faster I realised that the cooler the drink the better you can taste the banana. I don’t know why or how but it just does. Unlike some other Fraus flavours, it stays present the entire time instead of fading out, and because of this you’ll find yourself savouring every swig.
At the end there is no choc shot, but it can be a bit cold.

Summary: New look Fraus, great classic taste. This is definitely a flavour worth choosing!
