    My favorite coffee

    I used to get this brand of Vanilla Hazelnut at a coffee house near my house. They don't have it anymore and I've looked all around and can't find it except at Amazon. I mix half Decaf Vanilla and half this Vanilla Hazelnut and it tastes great, you can't taste the Decaf when you mix it with this one.
