Creator's Key Takeaways

We would highly recommend all three, but I think our favorite was the Lenny.

It's very nice sweet finish to it. It's not bitter or anything.

I think this is my favorite.

It was just something different. And I think she recounted there that the father of the family that she stayed with had aqua every morning for breakfast, too.
