Summertime Drinks with Jennifer and Cam! · Coffee In The Park with Jennifer and Cam

• 0:14
  Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to another edition of the ABA Coffee In The Park.
• 0:18
  My name is Cam Milliken, and I am here with my co-host extraordinaire, Jennifer Herrick, the Executive Director of the Acheson Business Association.
• 0:28
  Hi, Jennifer.
• 0:29
  Good morning, Cam, on this lovely spring day.
• 0:32
  It's a spring day.
• 0:34
  Had a little bit of rain this morning, then the sun came out, and yeah, it's just a great spring day.
• 0:39
  Well, I'm happy it's spring, are you?
• 0:41
  Well, I am, except I'm one of those- You can hear it in your voice, though.
• 0:44
  I'm one of those allergy-suffering peoples, and so this is a little tough on me, but you know what, hey, that's what medication is for, so yeah.
• 0:52
  That helps me out.
• 0:55
  Well, it's the truth, like I just gotta pop it to keep it.
• 0:57
  I get it, I get it.
• 0:58
  Otherwise, I'm sneezing and crying and wheezing.
• 1:00
  I don't think you're alone in this.
• 1:01
  No, I don't, no, no, no.
• 1:03
  There's a lot of allergy sufferers.
• 1:04
  Millions and trillions of people suffer from allergies.
• 1:06
  That's right.
• 1:07
  Well, Cam, tell everybody where we're coming from.
• 1:08
  Well, that's right, we are coming to you live from the Wall Coffee Roasters in the heart of beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 1:17
  That's right.
• 1:17
  So if you hear some noises in the background, coffee-whirring, people screaming, or kids screaming, not people.
• 1:22
  Well, people might be. But mostly kids.
• 1:23
  Well, it might be people talking.
• 1:25
  It's because we're here live at the coffee shop.
• 1:27
  We are.
• 1:27
  And if you have not been to the Wall Coffee Roasters, why not?
• 1:32
  Yeah.
• 1:32
  So Jennifer, it's a little bit of a different show today.
• 1:35
  Yes, it is.
• 1:36
  We don't have a guest.
• 1:37
  We don't.
• 1:37
  It's another one of those shows where we don't have a guest.
• 1:39
  That's right.
• 1:40
  And just for the record, it's not that we couldn't have a guest.
• 1:43
  No.
• 1:43
  We could have had a guest.
• 1:44
  Unfortunately, our guest had to fly out of the country today.
• 1:48
  That's right.
• 1:48
  In a moment's notice, he had to go.
• 1:50
  And one day we'll tell you, because he will come on as a guest, and we'll tell you why he had to do that, but we'll keep you in suspense.
• 1:58
  And then we'll have him, and you'll be going, this is what will happen.
• 2:00
  When you see and hear that guest, you will go, wow.
• 2:04
  I agree.
• 2:05
  Because he's a cool guest.
• 2:06
  He is.
• 2:06
  Anyway, so it's you and me today.
• 2:08
  It is.
• 2:09
  And that's okay, because I think sometimes people like to hear from just you and me.
• 2:12
  Well, if they don't, that's too bad.
• 2:15
  But don't tune us out.
• 2:16
  No, no, no, no, no, no, don't go anywhere.
• 2:18
  Stay, stay and listen, because this is a great show.
• 2:21
  Cam, this is going to be a fantastic episode.
• 2:24
  Without a doubt.
• 2:25
  I think this is one of our most creative shows that we've ever done.
• 2:28
  I think so.
• 2:29
  And we came up with it last minute.
• 2:32
  It's literally last minute.
• 2:33
  Literally last night.
• 2:35
  That's what we came up with.
• 2:37
  So anyway, but hey, listen, let's go back to it for a minute.
• 2:39
  We tell everybody that we are, we always do our show at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 2:45
  Yes, we do, which is owned by Michael Wall, who was a guest on the podcast.
• 2:50
  That's right.
• 2:51
  One of our very first guests.
• 2:52
  I think he was like number two, I think, or three.
• 2:54
  I think he was.
• 2:55
  Anyways, so yeah, so every week we do it here at the Wall Coffee Roasters in, like we said, the heart of a beautiful downtown Acheson.
• 3:05
  And if you've never been to the Wall Coffee Roasters, you should come because he transformed this building, this office building, into this really cool cafe.
• 3:14
  You know, Cam, everybody that walks in here for the first time is in awe of how stunning this location is.
• 3:20
  I know, they walk in and you literally hear them go, whoa, because yeah, it's pretty cool.
• 3:25
  It's like a little oasis.
• 3:27
  It's a little oasis in the midst of a bunch of industry and he roasts his coffees, got his roasters, got two roasters right over there through the window, we can see them, two roasters.
• 3:38
  And then he has this amazing little coffee shop.
• 3:40
  Cam, I want you to tell a little bit about where we do this particular podcast from in the corner because you are sitting on some church pews.
• 3:49
  That's right, I am.
• 3:50
  Now, tell us a little bit about the history because I think this is so cool about these church pews.
• 3:54
  Yeah, so if you remember way back, again, one of our first beginning podcasts, we had Wes Wall.
• 4:00
  Wes is the father of Michael Wall, who owns the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 4:06
  We are sitting in the corner, always in our corner.
• 4:09
  This is our corner.
• 4:11
  We are surrounded by our table is here.
• 4:14
  Then we have two church pews.
• 4:16
  These church pews come from Wes's dad, was a pastor for many, many years and these pews come from his dad's church in Drumheller, Alberta.
• 4:27
  We are sitting on genuine, actual church pews.
• 4:30
  When did that church close?
• 4:31
  Do you remember?
• 4:32
  Oh, no.
• 4:33
  I don't know if it ever closed.
• 4:34
  I think it's still going.
• 4:35
  Did they just renovate?
• 4:36
  Yeah, I think they renovated and they took these pews.
• 4:40
  Kind of like when the Montreal Forum closed and people took the chairs.
• 4:43
  People took the Forum seats.
• 4:45
  Except the church is still there.
• 4:46
  The Forum is not there.
• 4:47
  Yeah, that's not so.
• 4:47
  The church is still there.
• 4:50
  This is just a wonderful reminder for Wes and for Michael.
• 4:53
  Wes's dad, Michael's grandfather of the church that he was in, and I think that just adds such character to the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 5:00
  And we're here.
• 5:01
  This is like you say, this is where we do our podcast every week.
• 5:04
  Thank you, Michael.
• 5:05
  Thank you, Michael, for letting us do that.
• 5:07
  This is where we hold a number of our meetings with the Acheson Business Association.
• 5:11
  Second office.
• 5:12
  And it's second office and kind of dubbed as my second office because our offices are just like 200 feet away from here or 100 yards.
• 5:21
  Well, I don't know how far, but can I just say though, folks, sometimes when Cam walks in, in this back area is taken, I know, he's quite upset.
• 5:28
  I don't like it when other people are sitting in our, no, he gives them the stink eye.
• 5:33
  I don't give them the stink eye. Sure you do! Well, I don't do it on purpose.
• 5:36
  It just happens because I want to be in our seats.
• 5:39
  And the staff laughs every time.
• 5:41
  Everybody laughs every time.
• 5:42
  Yes.
• 5:42
  And when my boss calls me, he wants to know where I'm at, he goes, are you in your office?
• 5:46
  And I say, I am.
• 5:47
  He goes, no, you know which office I'm talking about.
• 5:50
  The one at the coffee shop.
• 5:51
  And I'm like, yeah, that's where I am.
• 5:53
  So anyway, but yeah, cause it's just our little place.
• 5:55
  It is.
• 5:56
  It's kind of cool.
• 5:57
  Yeah.
• 5:57
  So we're happy to be here.
• 5:58
  And the Wall Coffee Roaster is just an amazing place.
• 6:01
  It took Michael about a year to transform this into what it is.
• 6:05
  And now he roasts his coffee and he sells coffee.
• 6:09
  Drinks.
• 6:09
  He does drinks.
• 6:11
  So.
• 6:11
  Good segue.
• 6:12
  Good segue.
• 6:13
  Great segue.
• 6:14
  That takes us in to what we're gonna do today.
• 6:18
  It is spring, like we talked about.
• 6:20
  Yes, it is.
• 6:21
  We thought, because we've never really done this.
• 6:23
  No, we haven't.
• 6:24
  Ever.
• 6:25
  Really.
• 6:26
  That we were going to get a number of drinks on the menu and give you a little bit of a review.
• 6:32
  We're gonna do a little taste test.
• 6:34
  And there's a surprise at the end.
• 6:35
  There is a surprise.
• 6:36
  Oh, so excited.
• 6:37
  I'm excited about this one.
• 6:38
  So, yeah, so we thought, you know, like a restaurant review, we would do a Wall Coffee Shop drink review.
• 6:44
  And I know, like you're gonna say, I know what you're saying already.
• 6:47
  People are going, well, they're gonna say every drink is great.
• 6:49
  Well, no, we'll be honest.
• 6:52
  We'll be honest.
• 6:53
  But just remember, this review is what Jennifer and I think.
• 6:57
  That's right.
• 6:57
  It might not be what you think.
• 6:59
  You might come in and try it and love it.
• 7:01
  Yeah.
• 7:01
  Or go well, maybe not.
• 7:02
  So don't send us like angry email.
• 7:04
  No, no, no.
• 7:05
  What are you talking about?
• 7:06
  We don't, why do you think?
• 7:07
  I don't like it when, I take it personally when people send us angry emails.
• 7:11
  Have we ever got any angry emails?
• 7:13
  I don't think so.
• 7:14
  Maybe Hannah's blocked them from us.
• 7:15
  Thank you Hannah.
• 7:16
  Hannah keeps them from us because she knows we have very fragile egos.
• 7:21
  So she's like, I can't tell them because they'll fall apart.
• 7:24
  So anyway, we're here and so we've chosen three, well, four drinks, but we've chosen three for sure that we're going to do.
• 7:31
  Yes.
• 7:31
  Right?
• 7:32
  Yes.
• 7:32
  Okay.
• 7:32
  So let's get into it right away.
• 7:34
  Okay.
• 7:35
  Jennifer, you have to say the name of the drink.
• 7:38
  Okay.
• 7:39
  Do we say what's in the drink?
• 7:40
  We probably should, right?
• 7:41
  Do you remember what's in each drink?
• 7:43
  Kind of.
• 7:43
  Yes.
• 7:44
  No, I do.
• 7:44
  Okay.
• 7:45
  Okay.
• 7:45
  Good.
• 7:46
  So which one do you want to do first?
• 7:47
  Cleanse your palate with some water.
• 7:50
  This is like we're doing wine tasting.
• 7:52
  And we have to cleanse our palate.
• 7:54
  All right.
• 7:54
  Here we go.
• 7:58
  Little swish around.
• 7:59
  No, I just want to show the proof to our listeners that I'm cleansing my palate.
• 8:03
  We don't have a spit bucket like wine tasting.
• 8:05
  We don't have a spit bucket.
• 8:06
  But part of the problem is I don't spit in the spit bucket.
• 8:09
  I just drink all the wine.
• 8:10
  So that's why I don't go to wine tastings anymore.
• 8:13
  Jennifer.
• 8:15
  Oh, one day we'll do wine tasting and that one will go over great because by the end of the show, we'll be like just...
• 8:22
  Because like Jennifer said, it's not one sip.
• 8:25
  It's the whole glass.
• 8:25
  So anyway, but not with coffee.
• 8:27
  So we might be a little hyper after all of this today.
• 8:30
  We will.
• 8:31
  Because this is a lot of caffeine going on.
• 8:33
  OK, which one are we doing first?
• 8:35
  OK, so to let our audience know, in front of us, we have...
• 8:39
  No, because I'm not going to give away the surprise yet.
• 8:41
  No.
• 8:41
  We have two cold drinks and one hot drink.
• 8:43
  And one hot drink.
• 8:44
  OK.
• 8:45
  So actually, we took photos.
• 8:47
  So probably if you go to our social media, when we're done, when we drop this, you go to our social media, you're going to see them.
• 8:53
  You'll see our drinks.
• 8:54
  So whether it's Instagram or Facebook or LinkedIn or wherever, you will see our drinks.
• 9:00
  OK, so which one are we doing first?
• 9:01
  OK, Cam, I want to start with the newest one on the menu at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 9:06
  Yes.
• 9:07
  Which is a Flat White.
• 9:09
  A Flat White.
• 9:10
  But I don't even actually know what's in a Flat White.
• 9:12
  I don't either.
• 9:12
  And why is it flat?
• 9:13
  Because it's just like it looks flat to me.
• 9:15
  But hold on.
• 9:16
  OK.
• 9:16
  It's got, why is it new?
• 9:18
  Because it has a Blueberry and Honey.
• 9:20
  Blueberry and Honey in Coffee?
• 9:22
  Yes.
• 9:22
  Come on.
• 9:25
  Does it smell good?
• 9:26
  Well, it smells like coffee.
• 9:29
  OK, so this is Blueberry and Honey.
• 9:32
  Blueberry and Honey Flat White.
• 9:34
  Yes.
• 9:34
  OK, so here we go.
• 9:35
  All right.
• 9:42
  Huh?
• 9:43
  Oh, I taste the Blueberry. Do you?
• 9:44
  Can you taste?
• 9:45
  No.
• 9:46
  I don't.
• 9:47
  Do it again.
• 9:48
  Is this what it's going to take it with?
• 9:54
  Oh, now, yes, now I do.
• 9:57
  I taste the Blueberry.
• 9:59
  What do you think?
• 10:01
  OK, first of all.
• 10:02
  OK.
• 10:02
  Rate it.
• 10:02
  Let's rate them on a scale of one to ten.
• 10:04
  This one is.
• 10:05
  Ten being the highest or the lowest?
• 10:06
  Ten, no, the highest.
• 10:08
  Well, sometimes it's reverse scaled.
• 10:10
  Let's not confuse people.
• 10:11
  Ten is the highest.
• 10:12
  OK.
• 10:14
  You would rate this as a?
• 10:15
  I'd rate this probably as an eight point five.
• 10:18
  Eight point five?
• 10:19
  Yeah.
• 10:19
  OK.
• 10:20
  You?
• 10:21
  I would give it a nine.
• 10:22
  You'd give it a nine.
• 10:23
  I would.
• 10:24
  I can taste the hint of blueberry with a subtle hint of honey and the smooth taste of coffee.
• 10:32
  It's fantastic.
• 10:33
  You know what?
• 10:33
  It is really good.
• 10:34
  And can I just say that while it's amazing hot, I bet you this would be fantastic cold.
• 10:42
  Yes.
• 10:43
  This would be a fabulous summer drink, the blueberry honey.
• 10:46
  What kind of?
• 10:47
  Flat white.
• 10:48
  One day we need to find out what a flat white is.
• 10:51
  I have no idea.
• 10:52
  I think I asked Michael one day and I didn't.
• 10:53
  Probably like a little Espresso.
• 10:55
  Yeah, I didn't like his explanation.
• 10:57
  So I just, I don't know if he was telling me the truth, but yeah.
• 11:00
  It's delicious though.
• 11:00
  But you notice they gave us this one in a little cup, not in a big cup.
• 11:04
  Well, I think this is how flat whites are actually served.
• 11:06
  Oh, they're in little cups?
• 11:07
  Yes.
• 11:07
  Is there a lot of caffeine in here?
• 11:09
  Probably a.
• 11:10
  I'm feeling it.
• 11:11
  Hello.
• 11:11
  I'm going to have one more sip because this, so this, so you gave this an 8.5 and I gave this a 9.
• 11:17
  Okay.
• 11:17
  So yeah, okay.
• 11:18
  So if you come to the Wall Coffee Roaster and this is a Blueberry Honey Flat White, hot or cold, maybe, I don't know.
• 11:29
  Okay.
• 11:29
  That was good.
• 11:30
  Cleanse your palate.
• 11:31
  All right.
• 11:31
  I gotta cleanse my palate now.
• 11:33
  I really like that.
• 11:33
  I don't think, I don't think I've ever heard of a coffee shop anywhere that does a Blueberry Honey Flat White.
• 11:39
  Me either.
• 11:40
  That's amazing.
• 11:40
  Great job staff at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 11:43
  Whoever came up with that, whether it was Brendan or Michael or Caleb or whoever, you guys did fantastic.
• 11:48
  Okay, you've got to.
• 11:50
  All right, I've cleansed my palate.
• 11:52
  All right, where are we going now?
• 11:52
  Now we're going to be controversial.
• 11:54
  Oh, controversial.
• 11:55
  Are we ready?
• 11:55
  I'm ready.
• 11:57
  Controversy at the coffee shop.
• 11:58
  Well, I've heard that this next drink, which again, I don't know if anybody else does this at a coffee shop.
• 12:04
  Right.
• 12:05
  What is this one?
• 12:06
  I've heard this can be very polarizing.
• 12:09
  That can be polarizing?
• 12:11
  Yes, in terms of opinions.
• 12:13
  Okay.
• 12:17
  This is getting stressful.
• 12:18
  Polarizing.
• 12:19
  Oh my.
• 12:20
  Okay.
• 12:20
  Are you ready?
• 12:21
  Yes.
• 12:21
  This is, I'm going to say the way it shouldn't be said, the Expresso Tonic.
• 12:29
  That's right.
• 12:30
  Let's just stop for one second.
• 12:32
  Everybody says Expresso.
• 12:33
  Expresso.
• 12:34
  E-X.
• 12:35
  It's not X.
• 12:36
  No.
• 12:36
  It's not E-X.
• 12:37
  No.
• 12:37
  It's Espresso.
• 12:40
  Espresso.
• 12:41
  That's what it is.
• 12:42
  That's what it is.
• 12:42
  And I think that comes from Italy.
• 12:45
  I think.
• 12:45
  Well, maybe.
• 12:46
  I think I saw that on Netflix once.
• 12:48
  Espresso.
• 12:49
  Espresso.
• 12:49
  It's like, I got an Espresso.
• 12:51
  Gino.
• 12:52
  Help me out here, buddy, if you're listening.
• 12:53
  I need to know.
• 12:54
  Okay.
• 12:55
  So this is an Espresso Tonic.
• 12:57
  Tonic.
• 12:57
  Yeah.
• 12:59
  Meaning it's got tonic in it.
• 13:01
  Yes.
• 13:02
  So it's got Espresso.
• 13:03
  Like a gin and tonic.
• 13:04
  Like a gin and tonic.
• 13:05
  You notice a theme here with, okay.
• 13:07
  Sorry.
• 13:07
  By the end of this one, we might need a gin.
• 13:09
  All right.
• 13:10
  So, okay.
• 13:11
  So here we go.
• 13:12
  Okay.
• 13:12
  On the count of three, one.
• 13:14
  We got, oh, we got Bendy's straws and they're plastic Bendy's straws.
• 13:19
  Oh, why?
• 13:20
  Okay.
• 13:20
  Sorry.
• 13:21
  Can we get in trouble for that?
• 13:22
  I don't care.
• 13:23
  They're worried that the plastic straws will end up in a turtle's nose.
• 13:27
  I've never seen a turtle with a plastic straw up his nose.
• 13:30
  Anyway, okay.
• 13:31
  I know that's as controversial as we're gonna get.
• 13:33
  All right.
• 13:33
  Here we go.
• 13:34
  This is the Espresso, Espresso Tonic.
• 13:38
  Okay.
• 13:38
  One, two, three.
• 13:45
  Oh, mine's leaking all over, it's coming through my straw.
• 13:50
  Oh my goodness, I've covered in Espresso Tonic.
• 13:55
  Well, okay.
• 14:01
  All right, okay, Espresso Tonic on a scale of, why are you making that face?
• 14:06
  Your eyes are like kind of rolling back in your head.
• 14:09
  What's going on here?
• 14:10
  Okay, one to 10, how's that?
• 14:13
  Oh, three, maybe a two, maybe a two.
• 14:17
  Okay.
• 14:18
  And again, if you love this drink, that, hey, good on you.
• 14:21
  I'm going to be a little more generous.
• 14:23
  Despite the fact it's leaked all over me because it must be the tonic that fizzed through my straw.
• 14:29
  I'm going to give this a six.
• 14:31
  A six?
• 14:32
  Yes, I'm going to give this one a six.
• 14:35
  It's interesting, it's very, I would encourage people to try this because it's, I got one more sip.
• 14:42
  I'm going to pull my straw up.
• 14:43
  Okay, that's very interesting, very.
• 14:47
  I don't know, I've never had Espresso and Tonic and so, yeah, all right.
• 14:53
  You just giving me that look, like what are you talking about?
• 14:56
  Anyway, all I gotta say is okay, I'll give it a six, you gave it a three.
• 15:00
  I did give it a three.
• 15:01
  All right, so, but I would order this.
• 15:03
  I would.
• 15:03
  I would not.
• 15:04
  On a hot summer day.
• 15:05
  No.
• 15:06
  I would order that.
• 15:07
  I think I would try that.
• 15:08
  All right.
• 15:08
  I definitely need to cleanse my palate after that.
• 15:11
  Yeah, okay.
• 15:13
  So, we've had the Blueberry Honey Flat White, we've had the Espresso Tonic.
• 15:18
  All right, yeah, we gotta cleanse the, I gotta.
• 15:20
  Oh, yeah, that was, yeah.
• 15:22
  Ah, ah.
• 15:24
  All right, so the thing is we can't, like you ever know when you go to like the Bay, oh, the Bay is closing.
• 15:29
  Don't talk about the Bay.
• 15:30
  I know, I feel bad, the Bay is closing.
• 15:32
  But anyway, when you go to like a place to buy perfume or men's fragrances and they spray, and then they give you a little bowl of coffee beans.
• 15:39
  Yeah, and you stick your nose to try and cleanse the nose palate.
• 15:43
  Yeah.
• 15:43
  But we can't do that here because it is coffee.
• 15:45
  Right.
• 15:45
  We wouldn't be cleansing our palate.
• 15:47
  No, it wouldn't make any sense.
• 15:47
  We would be enhancing the, or exaggerating the taste.
• 15:51
  That's why we're just using water to cleanse our palate.
• 15:52
  Right, that's why we're using water.
• 15:53
  Okay.
• 15:53
  All right, so I gotta be careful here because I got Espresso Tonic all over me here.
• 15:59
  All right, this is our next one.
• 16:02
  The next one I know I've had before and I really enjoy.
• 16:04
  Yes.
• 16:05
  It is a milk-based beverage.
• 16:07
  Milk-based?
• 16:09
  A milk-based?
• 16:10
  So if you're, what is that that you can't have milk when you're, like, is that like...
• 16:15
  Lactose intolerant?
• 16:17
  Yes, lactose intolerant.
• 16:18
  I was gonna say gluten.
• 16:19
  No.
• 16:20
  But gluten, can you have milk? Yeah I don't know.
• 16:22
  I don't know about the gluten thing.
• 16:23
  Yeah, just not if you are lactose.
• 16:24
  So if you are lactose intolerant, take a pill before you drink this one.
• 16:28
  Maybe just avoid it altogether.
• 16:30
  Well, yeah, or take three pills.
• 16:32
  Okay, this is what?
• 16:33
  This is an iced chai.
• 16:35
  Iced chai.
• 16:35
  And I love a good chai.
• 16:37
  Chai.
• 16:38
  Yeah.
• 16:39
  Where does chai come from?
• 16:40
  India.
• 16:41
  India.
• 16:41
  That's right.
• 16:42
  Yeah.
• 16:42
  Chai comes from India.
• 16:44
  So this is an iced chai.
• 16:45
  What's in an iced chai?
• 16:45
  This is an iced chai latte.
• 16:47
  Iced chai latte.
• 16:47
  So it's a latte, but it's got chai in it.
• 16:49
  So it has coffee in it.
• 16:49
  Yeah.
• 16:50
  It's got chai in it.
• 16:51
  And milk.
• 16:51
  And milk.
• 16:52
  Yeah.
• 16:52
  And a little bit of cinnamon.
• 16:53
  And oh, is that what that is?
• 16:55
  No, no.
• 16:55
  Nutmeg?
• 16:56
  Cinnamon?
• 16:56
  Well, I don't know.
• 16:58
  Some exotic Indian type thing.
• 17:01
  I don't know.
• 17:02
  Smells like cinnamon.
• 17:03
  Does it?
• 17:03
  Yeah.
• 17:03
  Maybe it is.
• 17:04
  You're right.
• 17:05
  Okay.
• 17:05
  All right.
• 17:05
  On the count of three.
• 17:06
  Ready?
• 17:07
  One, two, three.
• 17:15
  It's one of my favorites.
• 17:16
  Oh, that, oh, that is so good.
• 17:21
  It is, isn't it?
• 17:22
  It's a little sweet.
• 17:23
  Yeah, I gotta say.
• 17:24
  No, it is.
• 17:24
  It's a little sweet, but man.
• 17:26
  You could probably order it half sweet.
• 17:28
  I think I have, actually, in the past.
• 17:30
  I know, I'm giving it away that I've had this before.
• 17:33
  But yeah, I've asked them to do it half sweet, because if you're like me, you don't like mega sweet.
• 17:38
  But this is very good iced.
• 17:40
  This, I could see right now, if you, if it was like 90 degrees, I don't know what that is in Celsius.
• 17:46
  But if it was like nine, I don't, I don't know.
• 17:48
  I'm not the generation of Fahrenheit, not Celsius.
• 17:51
  But if it was like 90 degrees, you'd want to be sitting out on the patio.
• 17:55
  At the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 17:57
  They have a patio.
• 17:58
  They do.
• 17:58
  You could be sitting out on the patio, drinking a chai latte.
• 18:03
  I'm giving this one a 9.5.
• 18:05
  A 9.5, okay.
• 18:06
  I'm going to give this one, I'm going to give this one a 9.
• 18:10
  Okay.
• 18:10
  And the only reason I can't give you 9.5.
• 18:12
  Yes, yes, too sweet.
• 18:13
  It's a little sweet for me.
• 18:14
  Yeah.
• 18:14
  But other than that, this is a fabulous drink.
• 18:17
  I know.
• 18:17
  I love this drink.
• 18:18
  It's great.
• 18:19
  Man.
• 18:19
  And I think, you know what, here at the Wall Coffee Roasters, they can make anything iced.
• 18:23
  I know.
• 18:24
  But this is, the iced chai latte.
• 18:26
  Yeah, it's really good.
• 18:27
  Let's say that again.
• 18:28
  Iced chai latte.
• 18:30
  That's fantastic.
• 18:31
  Delicious.
• 18:32
  I love it.
• 18:32
  Okay, so we've had the Blueberry Honey Flat White.
• 18:36
  We've had the Espresso Tonic.
• 18:38
  Yes.
• 18:39
  And now we've had the chai.
• 18:40
  The chai latte.
• 18:41
  The iced chai latte.
• 18:42
  Oh, fantastic.
• 18:44
  But.
• 18:46
  Oh, this next one, this is the best because.
• 18:52
  This is a new drink.
• 18:55
  Brand new.
• 18:56
  Brand new.
• 18:56
  Actually, so brand new.
• 18:58
  It was made literally 21 minutes ago.
• 19:02
  That's right.
• 19:02
  Maybe 22.
• 19:03
  Not on the menu.
• 19:04
  Not on the menu yet.
• 19:05
  No, no, no, maybe.
• 19:08
  Hopefully, it will be on the menu.
• 19:10
  And you and I, we concocted this drink.
• 19:13
  Yes, we did.
• 19:14
  Last night, when we were sitting here thinking, what are we going to do for tomorrow's show?
• 19:19
  Right.
• 19:19
  And we thought, well, and we, Michael was here and Brendan was here and we were talking and we came up with the idea of a brand new drink, a summer drink.
• 19:29
  It is a summer drink.
• 19:30
  For the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 19:31
  That's right.
• 19:32
  No, you wouldn't want this drink in February, but you will want this drink in July.
• 19:36
  And you'll understand when to see the photos on our Instagram page.
• 19:39
  Right.
• 19:39
  So, but for total transparency, you and I have not even tried this drink yet.
• 19:45
  No.
• 19:45
  No, but we've named it.
• 19:47
  Yes.
• 19:47
  Okay.
• 19:48
  What's the name?
• 19:48
  The name of this drink is the JC.
• 19:52
  The JC.
• 19:53
  The JC.
• 19:54
  Okay.
• 19:54
  I know what you're all thinking, but don't think that that's, it's not that.
• 19:57
  Okay.
• 19:58
  The JC stands for?
• 20:01
  What would, well, it's Jennifer and Cam.
• 20:02
  Jennifer and Cam, because we do the podcast.
• 20:05
  This is Jennifer.
• 20:05
  I'm Cam.
• 20:06
  And we do the ABA Coffee In The Park podcast.
• 20:08
  That's exactly.
• 20:09
  And we invented this drink.
• 20:11
  So it's called the JC.
• 20:12
  Should we tell everybody what's in the drink?
• 20:15
  Sure.
• 20:15
  Or should we try it first and then tell them?
• 20:17
  Okay, let's try it.
• 20:18
  Okay.
• 20:18
  So you'll see in the pictures, we have a little umbrella because it's very tropical.
• 20:23
  It is very tropical.
• 20:23
  It is very tropical.
• 20:24
  There's actually something very tropical in here.
• 20:26
  There's sun's out.
• 20:26
  I feel like I'm on a beach somewhere.
• 20:28
  Oh, look at this.
• 20:28
  The sun just came out.
• 20:30
  Because they knew we were having this drink.
• 20:32
  All right.
• 20:33
  So on the count of three.
• 20:34
  Oh, yeah.
• 20:35
  He says to stir it a little bit.
• 20:37
  The ice might have melted, but that's okay.
• 20:38
  Okay, here we go.
• 20:39
  One, two, three.
• 20:49
  I like it.
• 20:49
  That's good.
• 20:50
  I like it.
• 20:51
  It's good.
• 20:52
  It's really, this is so refreshing.
• 20:54
  It is very refreshing.
• 20:58
  This is like, this is like mid-summer, three o'clock in the afternoon, sun's at its highest peak, beating down upon you, and you need something to quench your thirst.
• 21:14
  This is it.
• 21:14
  This is it right here.
• 21:15
  The JC.
• 21:16
  So just so everybody knows, do you want to tell them what's in the JC?
• 21:19
  Yes.
• 21:19
  So the JC is a tropical green tea.
• 21:24
  Tropical green tea.
• 21:26
  We're not kidding.
• 21:26
  It's actually a tropical green tea.
• 21:28
  No, it's what it's actually called.
• 21:29
  Tropical green tea.
• 21:29
  Tropical green tea.
• 21:30
  Club soda.
• 21:31
  Club soda.
• 21:32
  And pineapple.
• 21:33
  And a chunk of pineapple.
• 21:34
  A chunk of pineapple.
• 21:35
  I don't know if they'll...
• 21:36
  They might not do the chunk of pineapple.
• 21:38
  No, but maybe, maybe we could get them to put a little pineapple juice.
• 21:44
  Come on.
• 21:44
  And...
• 21:45
  Pineapple juice would be amazing in this.
• 21:46
  We have little umbrellas.
• 21:48
  Yes, we do.
• 21:48
  Little tiny umbrellas in there for like little tiny people.
• 21:51
  Well, they might not get the umbrellas if they come in.
• 21:53
  I'm going to tell Michael they should have the umbrella.
• 21:55
  This is...
• 21:56
  I really like this.
• 21:56
  This is good.
• 21:57
  This is...
• 21:57
  It's not too sweet.
• 21:59
  It's not too flat.
• 22:01
  The carbonation makes it a nice nose kind of fizzy kind of drink.
• 22:06
  This is really good.
• 22:07
  I really like your idea of the pineapple juice though.
• 22:11
  Oh, man.
• 22:13
  I'm...
• 22:13
  excuse me.
• 22:14
  I got to have another...
• 22:14
  this is amazing.
• 22:17
  I really like that.
• 22:18
  Wow.
• 22:19
  So what would you give it out of a ten?
• 22:20
  Oh, a ten.
• 22:21
  Oh, a ten.
• 22:22
  The JC.
• 22:23
  The JC.
• 22:23
  Ladies and gentlemen, far and wide, if you're listening to us overseas, I'm sorry, you can't have...
• 22:29
  you won't...
• 22:29
  unless you come here, but the only place you're going to get a JC this summer is at the Wall Coffee Roasters.
• 22:35
  Now, tell everybody, because we had this conversation with Michael.
• 22:38
  We did.
• 22:39
  Yeah, I think.
• 22:42
  What conversation did we have?
• 22:43
  If you come in to the Wall Coffee Roasters...
• 22:47
  Now, again, this might not be on the menu, but if you come in and say, I heard about the JC on the ABA Coffee In The Park podcast.
• 22:54
  Okay.
• 22:54
  Can I just say, like, every hamburger restaurant has a secret menu.
• 22:59
  Did you know that?
• 22:59
  McDonald's has a secret menu.
• 23:01
  If you go down to the States and you go to In-N-Out Burger, they have a secret menu, Chick-fil-A, which we now have two of.
• 23:07
  What's the Chick-fil-A?
• 23:08
  Yeah, they do.
• 23:10
  What's on the secret menu?
• 23:11
  I can't tell you.
• 23:12
  You'll have to, we'll have to, I'll show you after.
• 23:14
  All right.
• 23:14
  But if you come to the Wall Coffee Roasters, it's not on the menu.
• 23:17
  But if you order the JC, the JC, you will get 10% off.
• 23:23
  10% off.
• 23:24
  Of the JC.
• 23:25
  Of the JC.
• 23:25
  Yeah, no, yeah, no.
• 23:26
  Not everything.
• 23:27
  You can't have like 15 lattes.
• 23:29
  But if you order the JC, you will get 10% off.
• 23:32
  That's right.
• 23:33
  It's phenomenal.
• 23:33
  And what I want people to do, is if you order the JC, take a picture and tag us on Instagram.
• 23:41
  Yes, tag us on Instagram.
• 23:43
  Yeah, ABA Coffee In The Park podcast.
• 23:46
  I don't know how to do any of that, but I'm sure you know how to do that.
• 23:50
  Anyway, and you know what?
• 23:52
  What would be even better is if you like, you order it here at the coffee shop, or you take it to go, show us all the places you're having a JC.
• 24:01
  This would be awesome.
• 24:03
  It's like the traveling bear around the world.
• 24:05
  That's right.
• 24:06
  So if you work in the park and you drive a big truck, while you're driving your truck, you're having a JC.
• 24:13
  Perfect.
• 24:13
  Or if you're sitting at your desk typing, you're having a JC.
• 24:16
  I love it.
• 24:16
  Or if you're just out for a stroll, you're having a JC.
• 24:20
  Well, you might not want to stroll in the park.
• 24:22
  It's a little dangerous.
• 24:23
  Well, don't walk on the main roads.
• 24:25
  No, there's no sidewalk.
• 24:26
  But anyway, I'm just saying, this is incredible.
• 24:28
  Invite your friends, get them over, have JCs for everybody.
• 24:32
  Invite them to the coffee shop.
• 24:33
  Yes.
• 24:34
  And have a JC.
• 24:35
  Brilliant.
• 24:35
  Yeah, I love it.
• 24:36
  This is, I'm really pleased with this drink.
• 24:38
  I'm really happy.
• 24:39
  This is the best thing we've done to date.
• 24:40
  No, I agree.
• 24:41
  I think we'll perfect it a tad more.
• 24:42
  I think we could perfect it a tad more, but it's okay.
• 24:44
  Maybe the pineapple juice will perfect it a little bit more.
• 24:47
  But so thank you to Michael.
• 24:49
  Thank you to Caleb.
• 24:50
  Caleb, thank you.
• 24:51
  Caleb, thank you.
• 24:53
  Thank you for making the, all you guys.
• 24:54
  Thank you.
• 24:55
  Yeah.
• 24:55
  They're all looking at us.
• 24:56
  Thanks for, yeah, thumbs up.
• 24:58
  So thanks guys.
• 24:59
  They made it this morning.
• 25:00
  They concocted it.
• 25:02
  First time ever.
• 25:04
  Yeah.
• 25:04
  I think Kaden may have videoed it.
• 25:06
  So we may even have the creation.
• 25:08
  I know.
• 25:09
  It's so exciting.
• 25:09
  Of the JC on video.
• 25:12
  So this is fantastic.
• 25:13
  So, excuse me, the JC, we're gonna have merch, I hope.
• 25:18
  We're thinking about merch.
• 25:20
  Limited summer time only.
• 25:22
  Oh yeah.
• 25:22
  This is only for like summer.
• 25:23
  This is only for summer.
• 25:24
  Yeah.
• 25:25
  What would JC drink?
• 25:27
  That's gonna be our wristbands.
• 25:29
  And maybe some T-shirt.
• 25:31
  I don't know.
• 25:32
  We'll figure out something.
• 25:33
  But it'll be, it's gonna be a hit.
• 25:36
  Listen, you're missing out.
• 25:37
  If you don't head down here between, That's right.
• 25:39
  now and the end of summer to get a JC.
• 25:41
  That's right.
• 25:41
  You only have four months.
• 25:44
  And summer goes by so fast.
• 25:46
  So if you're asking, maybe you're asking the question, where is the Wall Coffee Shop?
• 25:50
  That's a very good question.
• 25:52
  And you're saying, where is beautiful downtown Acheson?
• 25:56
  27717 Acheson Road, in Acheson.
• 25:59
  In Acheson.
• 25:59
  It's literally 10 minutes from Edmonton.
• 26:01
  And like five minutes from Spruce Grove.
• 26:03
  Right.
• 26:04
  And like, you know, like just Google it.
• 26:06
  That's why we have phones now.
• 26:07
  Put it in the Google Maps and it'll bring you right here.
• 26:10
  Matter of fact, if you put JC in there, it might even bring you here.
• 26:13
  Probably not.
• 26:14
