Blind Assessment

(As brewed in a Flavia Fusion Drink Station using a Flavia proprietary single-serve pouch at a cup volume of 7 ounces): Subdued, delicate, vanilla-toned aroma. In the cup excellent body and mouthfeel, good sweetness, but very flat and monotoned in flavor, with a hint of fruit and cardboardy stale notes. No flavor whatsoever persists in the simple, slightly astringent finish.

Notes

The Flavia Fusion Drink Station is a sleekly redesigned, consumer version of the well-established office hot beverage machines Flavia S350 and SB100. It prepares coffees in proprietary Flavia pouches, which currently cannot be purchased from third-party roasting companies and cannot be used in other single-serve brewing devices. Flavia is a brand of Mars Incorporated, a large privately owned company that started with its now classic candies before adding pet food (Whiskas), people food (Uncle Ben's) vending systems, and now the Flavia Drink Station and its beverages. Visit www.myflavia.com or call 888-693-5284 for more information.

Who Should Drink It

People for whom body is more important than flavor when brewing in a single-serve system.
