I do NOT normally like flavored anything - other than Harvest, I do not buy flavored coffee, any kind of creamer, etc. I can almost always detect that fake aftertaste. However, for some reason this coffee does not have that, and when fall gets close, I can't wait to get the AFA email saying Harvest coffee is available. The flavor is subtle and yummy. I can drink it straight, but I usually mix it with regular coffee. Highly recommend.
