Over the past month, I’ve had plenty of posts about tea thanks to the Tazo Cookoff. Today I’m switching up gears with a post for all the coffee lovers out there.

If you know me, you know I love coffee. I started drinking it the summer before my senior year of high school and I’ve rarely spent a morning without a coffee cup in my hand since. In fact, I’m sitting in a coffee shop as I write this post (no, I don’t have a problem or anything…) So I was super excited when Starbucks contacted me about trying their new, naturally flavored coffees, which will be available in stores this fall.

I was really impressed by these! The flavors are there, but are very subtle — more like putting cinnamon in your coffee grounds or adding a drop of vanilla extract to your coffee cup than the overwhelming flavor that some coffees like this have. Since I generally drink my coffee with just a splash of milk I also love that, unlike adding flavor with a syrup, these aren’t sweet or full of calories.

I like the cinnamon flavor the best if I’m drinking hot coffee and the caramel flavor best if I’m drinking it iced. The vanilla is great either way. But why take my word for it when you can try it for yourself? Starbucks has agreed to send three lucky readers full-sized bags of each flavor along with a French Press and a mug. Just leave me a comment telling me which flavor you’re the most excited to try. I’ll pick a winner on Friday.

      I would really like to try the caramel flavor. The cinnamon does sound delicious though because I usually add it to my coffee.

      I want the vanilla coffee with milk in it to create a vanilla latte.

      I sampled these as well and I think cinnamon was my favorite, it definitely had the strongest and most natural flavor.

      I think Vanilla. I still haven’t found a decent Vanilla coffee…I am so with you on the just milk and nix the sweet syrups for flavour!

      I’m most excited to try vanilla. A classic, but a favorite!

    12. TheoAugust 26, 2010 at 10:04 am

      Definitely cinnamon. I love a little hint of cinnamon brewing in my coffee!

    16. CourtneyAugust 26, 2010 at 11:51 pm

      I would like to try the vanilla flavor!

    17. CoriAugust 27, 2010 at 8:19 am

      I would have voted vanilla, had a German colleague of mine not suggested a few weeks ago that I try a pinch of cinnamon in my coffee… delicious! So, cinnamon. :)

    18. donnaAugust 27, 2010 at 8:24 am

      Cinnamon sounds perfect for the fall.
