Each sip brings a wave of flavors. Initially, the honey is the most potent, but there's a hint of vanilla when it's going down, too. After each sip, the coffee flavor takes over and sort of lingers on the tongue. But the honey never goes away, which is a good thing -- it's a natural sweetness that goes surprisingly well with coffee.

The energy boost is slightly higher than what we'd get from a regular cup o' joe, probably because of all the added sugars. But the Honey Vanilla Latte is a perfect morning starter coffee, especially if you're skipping breakfast.
