— Elizabeth, Founder & Chief Taster | Rich, Chocolatey, and Absolutely Café-Worthy at Home.

The Mocha is the one for anyone who believes coffee and chocolate were simply meant to be together. And honestly? They were.

Rich chocolate and smooth cocoa flow through every sip with a natural sweetness that feels indulgent without being overwhelming. Made with natural flavors only — no artificial ingredients — and you can absolutely taste the difference.

But here's where it gets really special: I made our White Chocolate Mocha recipe with this as the base and it is absolutely stunning. The mocha coffee paired with white chocolate creates this incredibly smooth, creamy, café-worthy drink that you will not believe you made at home.

This is the one for chocolate lovers, dessert coffee fans, and anyone who wants to feel like a barista in their own kitchen. It delivers every single time.

— Elizabeth, Founder & Chief Taster | Warm Spice, Toasted Hazelnut, and Naturally Delicious.

Cinnamon and hazelnut together in one cup — it sounds simple and it is, in the best possible way.

What sets this one apart is that it's made with natural flavors only. No artificial anything. You can taste the difference immediately — the cinnamon warmth and toasted hazelnut richness are genuine and aromatic in a way that artificial flavoring just can't replicate.

Hot it's like a cozy bakery in a cup. But my favorite way to enjoy it? The Iced Hazelnut Cinnamon Coffee recipe from our Brew & Steep Journal. Smooth, refreshing, naturally sweet over ice — it's become a regular in my afternoon rotation and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

If you love warm spice and nutty sweetness, this one was made for you.

— Elizabeth, Founder & Chief Taster | This Coffee Smells Like a Bakery and I Am Not Complaining.

The moment you open the bag of Cinnabun you know you're in for something special. Warm cinnamon sugar and sweet pastry fill the air and honestly it's one of the best coffee aromas I've ever experienced.

Made with natural flavors, this smooth medium roast tastes exactly like a fresh-baked cinnamon roll in the most magical way possible. Cozy, warm, sweet — and not a single artificial note in sight.

But here's where it gets really fun — I made our Cinnabun Cappuccino with Cinnamon Roll Crumbles recipe with this as the base and it is an absolute showstopper. The crumbles on top take it completely over the top. It looks stunning, it tastes even better, and it will absolutely impress anyone you make it for.

This one is pure joy in a cup. Full stop.

— Elizabeth, Founder & Chief Taster | Buttery, Sweet, and Absolutely Dangerous Over Ice.

If you've ever ordered an iced caramel latte from a coffee shop and thought 'I wish this tasted more like real caramel' — this is your answer.

Buttery caramel sweetness melted into a smooth medium roast, made with natural flavors that actually taste like the real thing. Warm, rich, and comforting in a way that artificial caramel flavoring just can't touch.

I made our Iced Caramel Latte recipe with this as the base and honestly — it's better than anything I've ordered out. The caramel notes come through beautifully over ice and the whole drink just comes together perfectly.

Dessert in a cup. Anytime of day. Zero guilt about making a second one.
