Question: How do you like the coffee?

I usually like to grind my own beans but tried this because I had it once before and because it's organic. I tried it a few months ago and only had one cup and was pretty sure I liked it and wanted to confirm.I got this to use in my Cuisinart that is made for keurig k cups - I cut open the pods and poured the coffee into my set reusable kcup. Because the coffee is ground so fine, it didn't work too well in the keuring but I expected that. I just brewed two small cups with the one kcup-ful and it worked fine. The coffee is rich and full bodied, not bitter and only mildly acidic. And, it tastes pretty fresh for preground coffee.I love a deep, bold coffee but don't like acidic or bitter flavor, and this was a pretty good cupful, and it's organic to boot. I find it a challenge to find a bold coffee that I like that isn't bitter/acidic, so was pleasantly surprised with this. I would probably buy again if I could use pods directly or if I could get whole beans.

Question: How is the coffee?

I brewed the Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee both in a Cuisinart automatic brew coffee maker and a french press. I followed the instructions on the package - 1 rounded tablespoon for each 6 ounce cup of coffee. I found the same taste results with both methods. I like a good cup of black coffee but am not fanatical about it. I do grind fresh bold or medium body beans each morning and use filtered water to prepare the pot.As someone who usually adds a little espresso or instant espresso powder to most chocolate recipes I know this flavor combination is a wonderful marriage. Depending on the percentage of espresso to chocolate, the result is either a deep mocha flavor with the coffee playing a major role, or a small addition will result in complex chocolate flavor with no obvious coffee component.  Unfortunately, with the Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee the merger of coffee and chocolate adversely affected both the coffee and the chocolate flavor.There is a definite aftertaste from the artificial flavor, and the coffee itself is bitter and acidic. I do not know if the artificial flavor affected the coffee or the coffee is bitter and acidic on its own but, after each sip I had an involuntary puckering reaction, not my lips, but the inside of my cheeks as if I was consuming something containing acetic acid, like vinegar, not that it tasted like vinegar - it didn't.  The flavor was remarkably unpleasant, and when the cup cooled off, it tasted worse. Even the aroma while brewing smelled artificial.The other reviewers who mention how greatly improved the flavor became once cream was added is an indication of a consistent problem.  I love the taste of coffee and like it unadorned - no cream or sugar. I only add cream if I am in a restaurant and the coffee doesn't taste good. I use the cream to doctor-it-up in hopes of salvaging some of the flavor and masking the poor aspects whether caused by bitterness or coffee that's been sitting in the pot too long.  This coffee is no exception, the cream vastly improved the drinkability, but the action is akin to smearing butter on a day old roll. Underneath it is still a stale roll, and although the butter tastes delicious, it would not be accurate to call the combination a buttery delight.On the positive side, flavored coffees are usually light body and the Gevalia is definitely medium body. The packaging is quite attractive and the name is clever, but in the end may work against the product because Dark Chocolate Truffle evokes a clear taste profile for most people and the coffee doesn't live up to the name. I am rating the coffee three stars instead of less because if the purchaser always uses cream in their coffee, many of the taste issues I encountered should be if not resolved, at least mitigated.

Question: How much does a coffee with excellent aroma cost?

The price is wonderful on these but I really like the way the company conducts business.The coffee is fresh!  SO FRESH!  I know because the biodegradable bottom of the cup lets me smell the coffee and they are bagged in small quantities to maintain freshness.  About one bag a week in my house.The are made in the California which makes me biased of course.  They chip quick and focus on the customer experience.  Will buy more.

Question: How is the possibility like?

I really was a little chary of even drinking this, with a name like Aloe Gloe; I think of aloe as being something you put on burns or smooth on your skin. I rather crept up on the bottle, checking it out suspiciously; only when I was convinced that yes, it is a beverage, did I take my first sip.There is a cloying thickness to the drink that, together with an almost annoying sweetness, is off-putting. It would take a while to get used to it, and it would take getting used to to like it, I think. At the same time, I forged ahead with it because it seems clear that ingesting it is good for you. It is chock-full of vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals, and I could almost feel that it was beneficial. It's not, however, your run-of-the-mill soft beverage; as stated, it has a thick consistency that is not altogether pleasant.Overall, its benefits may encourage the right consumer to develop a liking for it. I might be convinced to give it another go, but the jury is still out.

Question: Does it have a strong taste?

Only 2 reasons to drink something like this.  Good taste or a little energy perk.It has a nasty taste and an unpleasant aftertaste.  Therefore, you won't tolerate this and the lift in energy won't happen - since you won't want to drink this.It's not a complete disaster.  Served chilled, it's seems a bit refreshing on a hot day (the moderate carbonation helps).If you can tolerate (or enjoy!) the musky apple taste you might like this drink.  But I guess most people would rather have a cup of coffee for an energy boost (and iced coffee on a hot day!).

Question: Can you taste this oatmeal?

I decided to try the Wild Blueberry Pure Organic Raw Fruit & Nut Bar after trying the Cherry Cashew version and liking it but finding the "cherry" flavor to be very subtle.  In addition to being Certified Organic, this bar is gluten-free and vegan. Furthermore, the Wild Blueberry flavor contains a full serving of fruit, is a good source of fiber (3 grams), and provides Omega-3s as well. There is also a decent amount of protein (6 grams, slightly less than the Cherry Cashew bar), and although the amount of sugar is higher than I would've liked (19 grams, or almost 4 teaspoons), the bar is naturally sweetened using agave nectar only, with no other added sugars added.The bar was thick and dense in appearance, with an almost slightly sticky feel. The taste definitely tastes fruity, but I could not detect a blueberry flavor at all.  Rather, as other reviewers have suggested, the taste is more reminiscent of Fig Newtons, most likely because the first ingredient is actually dates (blueberries were significantly further down the list).  The bar also did have a nutty flavor, and in fact it contains cashews, walnuts, and almonds.  Overall, I liked the taste (I like dates!), but I thought the "Wild Blueberry" label was deceiving, and I definitely have had other bars that I prefer.In the end, I liked the Cherry Cashew Pure Bar a bit more than this one, and I would rate the nutritional profile of that flavor as slightly better as well. Although these bars are not perfect, I would definitely recommend them to someone with specific dietary needs, such as vegan or gluten-free.

Question: How is the coffee?

I've never been a fan of Gevalia, in all honesty. I've always found it to be rather weak and not worth the price. But the flavor of this one sounded intriguing, so I tried it. It's wonderful! Smooth, deep and dark without being bitter, and the chocolate undertones are deliciously rich. It's an excellent dessert coffee, and also serves quite well as "dessert" on its own, for those who decide to skip the actual desserts after dinner.I can't wait to add this coffee to my family's Thanksgiving menu. Update: This coffee got rave reviews after Thanksgiving dinner. Normally my family argues over the coffee... too strong, too weak etc. But today everyone couldn't stop saying "this coffee is REALLY good!" Can't recommend it highly enough.

Question: Does the product have problem after use sometimes?

It's hard not to compare Kraft's fiber bar with the original "Fiber One" bars.  If one was comparing, I'd say Fiber One bars are still better.  For one thing, even though Kraft's mocha flavored granola bar has one percent more daily fiber than a Fiber One bar, the saturated fat content is higher.  Also, there doesn't seem to be much granola in this granola bar; instead, it's covered in chocolate and...I think a peanut butter/mocha flavored strip with the consistency of whipped frosting.  Though I don't taste anything new here, except more sugar, the bars don't taste too bad.  However, I would still take Fiber One over South Beach, as the saturated fat level is pretty high, and the size of the bar is smaller.  When taste is comparable, I go for the better nutritional or monetary value.

Question: How is the texture?

Good solid granola that has more flavor than you would initially think.  Upon first bite it just tastes like normal granola-but the flavor jumps in as an aftertaste and is use right.  For the granola fan, tough to go wrong here as long as pricing is in line with other quality brands.

Question: Is the sauce tasty?

This sauce is delicious, but you would think it would be quite hot and spicy, seeing as it has 'habañero' in the name.  Habañero peppers are extremely hot and you would think that would be the point of having the word in the name of the sauce, it likely being meant to tell people that this sauce is quite hot, but no; instead, the sauce has a very mild flavor of chili pepper - that's it.  Apparently, there is some actual 'habañero' pepper somewhere in the ingredients, but it's toward the end of the list, so evidently, not much.  Anyway, the sauce is still quite delicious, just not exactly what one might expect.

Question: How do you like the tooth?

Newman's Own and I have had a really good relationship thus far; I have at least liked, and most usually loved, every product I have tried from them. Their organic ginger snaps are no exception. The cookies are relatively small (somewhere between 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter), but they are filled to the brim with gingery goodness, which you would hope for in a ginger snap. I wouldn't think these would be for someone with a casual liking of ginger, but for those who enjoy it more, these are sure to please as far as flavor goes. As for the crunch, these are a hard cookie and not for those with gentle teeth, but they are, after all, a ginger snap. Ginger snaps are not known to be soft in any way, shape, or form. Rest assured that these won't break in shipment. My bag of cookies survived their journey even though they came in a soft envelope, which in turn was crammed into my cluster mailbox. However, when I opened the bag, I only found two broken pieces equaling a cookie. That's one tough cookie!As far as nutrition goes, it's pretty good: 5 cookies in a serving, 130 calories (30 from fat), saturated fat 1.5 grams, sugar is 12 grams (not great but it is a cookie so far better than most other choices). The ingredients in order: Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic Sugar, Molasses, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Candied Ginger (ginger, sugar), Ground Ginger, Salt, Leavening (sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium, phosphate), Soy Lecithin, Spice. While these claim to be Vegan, I see that it doesn't say 'organic sugar' listed in the ingredients to the candied sugar, just 'sugar', so one wonders about that. If you're unfamiliar with the Newman's Own brand, it was co-founded by Paul Newman as a company where all profits from their food items go to various charities after taxes. It's a great cause that has fantastic, healthy, and quality products that while may be a bit pricier than other brands, won't break the bank.A little note, you might want to have a glass of milk, or cup of tea or coffee hanging around, because these ginger snaps really do snap back!

I wouldn't think these would be for someone with a casual liking of ginger, but for those who enjoy it more, these are sure to please as far as flavor goes. As for the crunch, these are a hard cookie and not for those with gentle teeth, but they are, after all, a ginger snap. Ginger snaps are not known to be soft in any way, shape, or form. Rest assured that these won't break in shipment. My bag of cookies survived their journey even though they came in a soft envelope, which in turn was crammed into my cluster mailbox. However, when I opened the bag, I only found two broken pieces equaling a cookie. That's one tough cookie!As far as nutrition goes, it's pretty good: 5 cookies in a serving, 130 calories (30 from fat), saturated fat 1.5 grams, sugar is 12 grams (not great but it is a cookie so far better than most other choices). The ingredients in order: Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic Sugar, Molasses, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Candied Ginger (ginger, sugar), Ground Ginger, Salt, Leavening (sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium, phosphate), Soy Lecithin, Spice. While these claim to be Vegan, I see that it doesn't say 'organic sugar' listed in the ingredients to the candied sugar, just 'sugar', so one wonders about that. If you're unfamiliar with the Newman's Own brand, it was co-founded by Paul Newman as a company where all profits from their food items go to various charities after taxes. It's a great cause that has fantastic, healthy, and quality products that while may be a bit pricier than other brands, won't break the bank. A little note, you might want to have a glass of milk, or cup of tea or coffee hanging around, because these ginger snaps really do snap back!

Question: What recipe can be made with chicken?

Roaster bags have to be one of the easiest ways to cook anything.  These bags are great you just put your meat in it, add the seasoning, shake, and bake.  Than you have a great meal that tastes delicious and is super simple.  I usually like to use chicken breasts, since they cook in a short time and are pretty low in fat.  These bags are easy and I just put the meat in, add the seasoning packet, shake (move around to evenly cover the chicken breasts and than bake.  The Garlic Parmesan and Italian Herb has a great flavor, the garlic and cheese blend is great on chicken breast (and although not listed, I think it would also be great on pork chops).  The coating leaves a nice flavored baked into the meat (I use skinless chicken breast) and tastes great.In the end the convenience of these are amazing.  I can just toss some meat in with a packet of seasoning, and bake for about 30 minutes (varies on what you are cooking).  Than I can plate and have a great meal.  I sometimes also add a little water or for this cheese sauce and than get the coating out of the bag (mixed in with the cheese or water) and than drizzle on top for a little more flavor!

Question: How is drink?

This is marketed as healthy all natural all juice.  From the full nutrition label, Switch lives up to that claim.  The ingredients are juice caoncentrates and added vitamin C.  No added sugar.  Just like juice, you get fruit sugar and fruit nutrients, but none of the fiber.  That's to be expected from a juice, although it seems some other reviewers were alarmed to discover that fruit is sweet due to sugar rather than naturally growing aspartame or sucrose.  Healthwise, this seems fine to me.As to taste:  I was expecting "Black Cherry" in a dark red can to be strong.  This was mellow.  I could taste the cherry juice, but I think apple was the dominant flavor.  This tasted remarkably like a children's juice box or a capri sun baggie, probably because it's a mix of juices in which apple is prominent.  It tasted like real juice - not fake.The carbonation was light, and added a bit of texture.  At home, purchasing fruit juice in a bottle and seltzer water in a bottle and mixing them in a glass provides more options and a taste of carbonated fruit juice.  I used to do lots of carbonated fruit juice mixes, and think I prefer plain apple juice and seltzer water to this, mostly because the Switch flavor didn't strike me.  Which juice sits best with you will be a matter of taste, and if you like carbonated fruit juice, then this could be a way to make it portable for bag lunches, road trips, and such.Overall, if you drink a lot of sodas and like fruit juice, this is worth a try, perhaps in the form of one can on a road trip.  It's healthier than soda, because it has real sugar (from fruit, not added) instead of high fructose corn syrup, but not as healthy as a piece of fruit.Oh, yes, here is the nutritional information:8.3 oz.,  130 calories, 0g fat, 15mg sodium, 35g total carb, 33g sugar, 0g protein, 100% of vitamin C.Ingredients:  100% juice (filtered sparkling water sufficient to reconstitute juice concentrates, apple, grape, acerola and cherry juice concentrates), natural flavors, ascorbic acis (Vitamin C)

Question: How is it ingredient?

I tried this Pure Bar, and I liked it. I am comforted by the ingredients: lots of protein, and both vitamins and minerals. My doctors want me to have more protein and fiber and less sodium and cholesterol.  "Pure Bar" fits the doctor's orders."The Pure Bar Organic Blueberry"  has six grams of protein, and twenty-six grams of carbohydrate with 3 grams of fiber.  It also has 19 grams of natural fruit sugars, eight grams of fat, but has only 190 calories.  It is also gluten free and contains zero sodium.Since the label mentions "organic dates, organic rice protein concentrate, and apple juice and lemon juice as well as blueberry, it is tough to decide on a name for the "taste"  The taste is not great. It is a bit fruity but not distinctly blueberry.Prue Organic Wild Blueberry bar is much better for my health than most other snack and energy bar that I have seen on the market. It doesn't takes as good as a candy bar or an ice cream sunday, but it is much better for me. I highly recommend Pure Bar Organic Wild Blueberry, Raw Fruit & Nut Bar for anyone interested in a healthy snack bar.

Question: What about snack?

I love the combination of chocolate with caramel corn and the Snackwell Fudge Drizzle Carmel Popcorn provided just the right balance of that combination.  The chocolate didn't overwhelm the flavor of the caramel corn.  The popcorn tasted fresh and the caramel coating has a good flavor.Caramel corn is one of those snacks that never seems to fill me up so I love that this is packaged in individual serving bags.  I can eat one bag and satisfy my craving for a sweet snack without eating an entire box of caramel corn.  At 130 calories and 18 grams of sugar per bag, it isn't a great diet snack but a nice treat once in a while.  In comparison, original Crunch 'n Munch has 160 calories and 11 grams of sugar in a similar serving size.

Question: How was the coffee?

Tired of paying an arm and a leg for flavored coffee drinks that are just making you fat? Brew up a pot of THIS at home!We buy a pouch of "flavored" coffee every week or so. Dunkin Donuts or Eight O'clock or folger's gourmet. They are ok with varying degrees of coffee quality and "flavor." We've tried Seattle's Best & Seattle can keep it. This is definitely one of the best.When I opened the pouch, I ws afraid it wouldn't have much in the way of chocolate flavor, but once it brewed...the aroma was fantastic. It's a very nice mixture of chocolate and coffee flavors without the sweet (you can add that if you must). At 7$ a pouch, it is comprable to what we get in the grocery...and quite yummy!

Question: How was the sauce?

This is an excellent all-round product that can be adapted to many dishes as well as being used straight out of the bottle as a dipping sauce or as a finishing glaze.The flavors are clean and there are no wierd aftertastes from artificial flavorings.  The mango used is the fragrant green and red Central and South American Mango rather than the intensely sweet South Asian Mango.  The sauce is semi-thick and seems to contain a lot of fruit.  There are no arificial ingredients listed on the label.The predominant taste is a sweet honey, then the clean fragrant mango, then a mild hint of Habanero follows.  It is not hot as you would expect from a Habanero sauce. It would be too mild for a hot sauce afficiando, but still too spicy for a novice.  Out of 10 (1 being not hot & 10 being sucicide) this would rank a 2 staright out of the bottle, as the sweetness takes the edge off.  If this sauce were to be used in cooking (heat from cooking increases the hotness of chillies) then this would move up to a 3.5We used this sauce as a glaze over pork kebabs, as a dipping sauce for breaded chicken strips, and to make a sauce base for sauteed shrimp. The flank steak overpowered the clean taste of the sauce and so we added garlic, a half teaspoon of soy sauce and fresh chillies to "beef up" the sauce. This gave it a slightly Hawaiian twist.Overall a very versatile sauce than can be easily diluted/strengthened and used in many dishes.  It is worth a try and would make a nice BBQ hostess gift.UPDATE Sept 27, 2009:Over the past few months this has become one of my favourite glazes to use on grilled food.  It has been fantastic on skewered shrimp, scallops, chicken breast and even on a turkey burgers and turkey meatloaf. My vegetarian friends love this on their grilled veggie burgers and tofu.

Question: How is people?

These are very good!  The caramel is blended with the chocolate, so it's not a "sticky" candy like you might expect with caramel.  Instead, it's a smooth texture like plain chocolate, but with a caramel taste mixed in.  I was actually surprised at how well I liked these.  I expected them to be pretty much the same as tons of other candies out there, but the taste and texture are both so much better.  I'll now have to add these to my addiction list. :)

Question: What is the salt crunch?

I think it's important to place a product in context before assessing its value and, in my opinion, this is not the sort of thing that is meant to substitute for the real deal. A fresh apple is going to beat a processed snack any time. However, sometimes, it's not feasible to have fresh fruit on hand or you need something which will travel well and not weigh you down as much. This is good to have in your desk, a backpack, or in your car for a quick snack, but it is essentially dried apples in a different form. If you like dried apples a little, you may like this just a bit more.The main selling point of this over dried apples is that it's crunchier and the little round balls are more fun to eat. They have an intense apple flavor brought on by the apple bits and the concentrated apple juice. The juice gives them a fair amount of sweetness and the little morsels are held together with potato starch. The main disappointment I have with these is that the cinnamon is far too subdued. This is my personal preference, of course. I didn't really detect any cinnamon until around the 3rd bite when it had built up enough intensity on my tongue to be present.If you like dried apples, these may do it for you. They are intense, but all dried fruit is. I thought they were okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have them again. Some snacks are the type of thing that I'd eat if someone offered them to me, but I wouldn't tend to buy them for myself. This is one of those.

The juice gives them a fair amount of sweetness and the little morsels are held together with potato starch. The main disappointment I have with these is that the cinnamon is far too subdued. This is my personal preference, of course. I didn't really detect any cinnamon until around the 3rd bite when it had built up enough intensity on my tongue to be present.If you like dried apples, these may do it for you. They are intense, but all dried fruit is. I thought they were okay, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have them again. Some snacks are the type of thing that I'd eat if someone offered them to me, but I wouldn't tend to buy them for myself. This is one of those.

Question: How is the taste and texture?

These are fabulous.  They don't have the same texture as mort tortilla chips.  They have air in them a little, kind of a puffed up texture, as you would expect from popchips.  The taste is close, but the cheese is a little more pronouced.Some nutritional information from the back of the bag:Calories:  120Fat: 4 gramsSaturated Fat: 0.5 gramsSodium: 190 mgTotal Carbohydrate: 20 gramsFor sake of comparison, here is some information from the Doritos website on their comperable chips in the same size bag.Calories:  140Fat: 8 gramsSaturated Fat: 1 gramSodium: 210 mgTotal Carbohydrate: 16 gramsSo depending on what numbers you are interested in, the benefits may or may not be worth considering.  If you're just looking for great taste, these are fantastic.

Question: How is taste?

Starbucks French Roast (an unflavored, dark roast) is my favorite coffee which I buy in bean form and brew at home. I also enjoy splurging on fresh coffees from Starbucks coffee shops occasionally.I had not tried Starbucks Natural Fusions Vanilla until now, and am happy with this because it has a good vanilla flavor.Although I love the idea of vanilla flavored coffee, in the past, all the other coffee brands I've tasted which are served in restaurants, various coffee shops and take out restaurants (i.e. deli's and gas stations) had a fake chemical taste that I disliked. So in the past I avoided any flavored coffees.I have also tried some creamer products with vanilla and hazelnut flavors (not made by Starbucks) but those have a sweetner in them that has a strange, too-sweet taste for me.When I saw both the Starbuck's brand and the fact that this was a NATURAL vanilla flavor (made with vanilla beans) I decided to try it and I'm happy with it. It has a medium roast good flavor of Starbucks coffee with a vanilla taste that is not chemical-fake tasting and lacks odd aftertastes and the only sweetness is from whatever sweeter we choose to add.Bravo Starbucks! Your "Natural Fusions Vanilla" coffee is just right!Bonus: my package states (on the side) that  if we bring the empty bag to a Starbucks coffee shop within 30 days of the "best by" date they will give us a free 12 ounce freshly brewed coffee at no charge!

Question: Is its taste good?

I'm not big on the energy drinks and haven't used them a lot but I will use one when I need that extra boost to get through the night shift. This one is pretty good and different. It has a kinda odd flavor, kinda tart, very sweet, with a faint baking soda flavor in there somewhere crossed with very light carbonation. It's supposed to be Strawberry Banana but I couldn't really taste much that I could recognize as strawberry or banana. But other than being a little too sweet it was ok. I can say that I liked the taste of it just a little, at least I didn't hate it or dis-like it as I do most of the energy drinks. I can also say that I like it better than Red Bull. It would have been better if it wasn't so sweet and maybe had some carbonation. As for its effectiveness as a energy boost I'll have to get back to you on that. If it gets me through the night shift then it will be one that I wouldn't mind using again and probably will if I can find it.After using this last night it did help me a lot. I had more energy through the night shift and didn't have that much of a drop when it was running down. The best part was that it gave me the energy boost that I needed without making my jitter around like a frog on a hot sidewalk. It was good enough that it could possibly become habit forming since I could really use another shot of it today to help get over the slight hangover feeling that I had this morning. But fortunately for me they are expensive enough that I cant indulge myself and end up using them on a daily basis.

Question: How natural does it taste?

Note: The zeros were cast by a troll and her gang, not real and decent people, and are against me personally and not the book or the review!Switch is a new, delightfully tasting carbonated drink. I love the equal blend of black cherry flavor--light and refreshing, with the light kick of the fizz of carbonation and the bubble feel in my mouth! In fact, that's how Switch bills itself: A perfect balance between juice and carbonation. That's my rave over this new drink.Now here's my reluctance to embrace the drink with five stars. I poured the 8.3 fluid ounces into a small glass (I have a huge collection of mismatched, but adorable clear glasses of all sizes, including this little bowl wine glass I removed from a college cafeteria in France many years ago). The glass held the contents of this tall, thin can of cheery cherry drink perfectly. But wait, by the time I quaffed the contents, I held the glass askance and asked: Is that all? I want more!In comparison my favorite beverage, Zero Sprite, holds 12 fluid ounces, a perfect amount to quench my thirst after a few hours working in the yard. I add ice to Sprite and don't care if it is watered down, but this Black Cherry Switch? No, one does not want to water down this exotic flavor. It must be drunk straight.As for its can slogan: "100% of what you want and 0% of what you don't," I'm not sure about that. Let's examine it. "What you want" is "100% juice, 100% RDA Vitamin C, All natural, Carbonated, Great taste and refreshment." I agree with all of those. So far, so good.Let's look at "what you don't" want: "No sugar added, No corn syrup, No preservatives, No artificial colors, and Gluten free." True on all those.Next the label. This is where it gets confusing. Total fat 0g, Sodium 15mg, Total Carbs 35g, Sugar 33g, Protein 0g, and 130 calories. The 33 grams of sugar can be confusing. If none was added, then the 33g must come with the natural juice. And Switch does bill itself on 100% juice.In comparison my Sprite can contains 38g of sugar and 140 calories. I thought Zero Sprite contained zero sugar. My bad. I didn't read the label. It is free of caffeine, fat, cholesterol, fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C, but no mention of sugar, which I assume comes from the corn syrup.I'm no nutritionist, but it seems that drinking Switch is much better than drinking a Zero Sprite, except that the can is larger so you get more.I would change those four stars to five now, except 8.3 Fl OZ still is not quite enough for one drink.Will I switch? No, but I will add Black Cherry Switch to my fridge for an occasional delightfully refreshing drink when I don't need more. Or else, I will have to trudge up to the headmaster, hold out my cup, and plead: "May I have more, sir?"Wouldn't that be embarrassing at my age?

Question: How was the chocolate taste?

Our family isn't a big fan of flavored coffee beans. I feel they usually have a very artificial taste, and sometimes leave a strange bitter after-effect.Needless to say, our first morning trying this Gevalia Dark Chocolate Truffle coffee we weren't expecting anything special, but we were pleasantly surprised. The chocolate flavor is full and rich, in fact a almost too rich! Making a full cup of coffee seem a bit too much. This is a flavor to savor, not chug on the way to work.Since then, we've been adding about a tablespoon of the Gevalia to our regular blend in the mornings, and it's amazing this tiny amount adds such richness and flavor to our morning cuppa.Not cheap if used alone, but if you stretch it out by making a blend with cheaper coffee as the base, you'll be thrilled at the wonderful rich flavor. A great way to pamper yourself without breaking the bank!

Question: How is the quality?

I enjoy drinking and brewing tea, though I'm no kind of expert on the beverage.  My cabinet is full of various brands of tea and all kinds of flavors.  It's safe to say I don't shop for Lipton or store brand orange pekoe when I can help it.  Generally I like green tea for days when I'm feeling a little under the weather, or when I'm eating Asian cuisine.  When this came up on Vine, I figured, what the heck?This is a perfectly serviceable green tea blend from Higgins & Burke.  The packaging is fairly pedestrian (no fancy tricorner bags, etc.), but done well enough to keep the tea bags fresh until use.  The main thing is that this isn't quite green tea as the label says.  It's green tea with lemongrass, lemon balm and verbena leaves.  Now, that's not to say it's bad.  It's green tea with a little kick to it, an added set of flavors that blend well.  But if you were expecting simply green tea, it could be a disappointment.  I like it fine in a mug with a little honey, though if I'm in the mood for real quality green tea, I won't have this as my "go-to".On the plus side, it makes a great iced tea.  I brewed up a batch with some mint leaves and have been enjoying the treat in this unseasonably warm Spring.  All in all, if you have a green tea you already love, this probably won't change your opinion, but it's a nice blend for those looking for something a little different.  And great if you want a green tea for making iced tea!Happy Drinking! ^_^ Shanshad

And great if you want a green tea for making iced tea!Happy Drinking! ^_^ Shanshad
