Starbucks Christmas Blend--Anyone tried?

glmama · ‎03-09-2010

Hi Ladies-- Starbucks has had this blend at holiday time for at least a few years now. I cannot for the life of me remember if I've tried it or not. I am thinking about picking up a box or two of the k-cups and wanted to get your opinions before I do so. Anyone love this blend? TIA

No. I like deep roasted, smooth coffee with a hint of chocolate (unflavored, of course), and this isn't it this year.

I'm too cheap to buy Starbucks.

Thanks, ladies.

And deb--I know what you mean--it is spendy. :-0 Lately we've been loving the regular Donut Shoppe coffee. But I DO like. Few of the SB blends, including the Veranda roast. If I see it at a Starbucks store and it's being brewed, I'll have to ask for a sample.

For kcups I generally look for extra bold coffee and look and see how much coffee is in each cup. I don't for flavored, I put creamer and sugar in it anyway. I generally have a flavored in the afternoon. Right now Timothy's german chocolate cake is my favorite. I add caramel creamer in it.

*ETA* Starbucks is .40oz so that's pretty good.

"Spendy" is not a word!

Skylands-I know it's not a word. I occasionally make up words.

I love the seasonal blends best of all. I find they have more interesting flavors and are not over-roasted. My favorite so far is ""Tribute Blend"" which is not around the whole year. I tend NOT to like the Thanksgiving blend and to love the Christmas blend.
