This is a tasty coffee blend with beans primarily from Guatemala and Ethiopia, and it has an almost floral taste to it. It's really easy to prepare -- the drip coffee sachet basically hangs on the sides of your mug, and you just pour hot water over it. I appreciate these on days where I really don't want to brew an entire cup of coffee, and I don't think the price is too bad -- it's cheaper than getting a black coffee at a cafe or convenience store. I really liked the packaging, too, and it certainly evokes those springtime feelings.

This is a springtime-limited product, so if you find yourself really liking it, you've got quite a short window to pick it up. Definitely stock up on a few if that's the case! From an environmental standpoint, I don't like that these are individually wrapped -- it ends up being quite a bit of single-use plastic/foil, which isn't great. I think a firm cardboard would wrap the coffee sachets adequately, but I'm sure it probably costs more than foil/plastic does. Overall though, a tasty cup of coffee and it eliminates the need to brew an entire coffee pot.
