a) Strong blueberry overtones pervade the surprisingly light coffee, vanilla and faint spices descending into sweet white chocolate notes.
b) Warm and subtly rich without being overwhelming, the sweet flavor of blueberries mingles with vanilla and light spices, finishing with a white chocolate note that lends a sophisticated, yet delicate, range of flavors to tantalize the taste buds.
