    Yummy

    Even though this was a little pricey, I used all three bags in about three or four months and I loved every cup of coffee. I usually just buy the decaf from Costco.

    Great product

    Awesome

  • Consumer Verified purchase ★★★★★

    Same quality as the other VIAs, significantly better value.

    I usually buy one box of 50. This came in eight small boxes of 12 packets.I don’t know why this is such a better value, but this is the way to go.
