Who here does not enjoy sensual experiences?
As I already mentioned in an earlier post, Ibiza is known for many different things..., and, as anyone who travels with me knows, I am known for many different things too! (Just a common, mind-bending coincidence.)
One of those is an intense sampling of the local coffee.
That sounds fancy and dedicated, but it's actually a bit of an exaggeration. It's not really that intense... My coffee drinking habits really only seem weird to people who don't drink coffee. However, let us proceed as if I was a wild caffeine hunter. It's more fun that way.
And so, I took it upon myself to ardently taste & evaluate across this beautiful island.
I have had many great coffees across Spain, and Ibiza was no exception in that regard, but then....practically in the very last moment, thanks to @romanie, I discovered something completely new!
Café Caleta
To imagine that I might have left the island without having tasted it....
It reminded me a bit of Glühwein or Punch at the Christmas stands in wintery Vienna, except it's nothing like either of those. It's a highly sensual, tastefully aromatic potion.
That's what it is.
It's divine.

I would like to point out that all proceeds from this article will go towards the further sampling of coffee across the world.
In faithful service,

That's not only completely normal, but probably very important and necessary in order to protect us from unknown constellations and viscous snowflakes.
