This is a great surprise. Before I ordered it, reading the other reviews, I really wanted the flavor to work. I was almost willing it to be as good as I thought it could be. Having brewed it for hot, double strength'd it for iced coffee, I can happily confirm that this is as good as I had hoped. Definitely more banana than caramel but once you taste it you'll see that's no bad thing. My wife says it's up there with Highlander Grog for her! Iced, I agree. Give it a go, you won't regret it.

This is an unusual combination. It isn't bad, it is just different!

I have had the banana caramel about 3 times thus far. I can definitely detect the banana flavor. I think as long as you put the right amount of teaspoons per cup of water, you can't go wrong. Some adjust more or less either way depending on their taste. I commented about the bag shape as we keep ours in a kitchen closet type pantry on a plastic wired shelf that has a lip. The rounded size seem to fit better for us but is no reflection on the quality or quantity of coffee in the San Marcos bag. We also scoop out the coffee the night before. It's on a timer Mon-Fri, as one of us has to get up before the crack of dawn, before that even. It's nice to relax on the weekends with a flavor such as this banana caramel coffee and maybe a slice or two of banana nut bread.

This has a very full banana taste. Very smooth. Not at all bitter. I love it!

Wonderful aroma with lovely banana snd caramel tastes distinctly prevalent.
