So, a little while ago I signed up to beta test this coffee, and I figure I should tell you all what I thought.

Pros:
-Lots of flavor! As most flavored coffees smell more like the flavor than taste like it, I was pleasantly surprised to find how flavorful this coffee was. I had put in some french vanilla creamer and found that I didn’t really need it’s flavor.

-Full bodied and light on the acidity. Maybe the base for this coffee is asian, since it matches those characteristics the best.

Cons:
-It came already ground. I understand the logic behind sending a sample like this so that everyone can enjoy it, but my hubby and I like to grind our coffee fresh every morning. (Aside: We like to grind it really course and add an extra scoop because it allows for very smooth, strong, and almost never bitter coffee.)

-The coffee liqueur flavor came through a little too strong. It had almost a sweet alcohol-ish aftertaste, and I don’t really want that from my coffee. I would have enjoyed a stronger vanilla caramel flavor.

All in all, it was a pretty good coffee. I think I could buy this brand again but not this particular blend.
