I agree with hauntedmyst in that the chocolate flavor was really subdued for me, but the lakeland flavor was really at the forefront, and this is the first lakeland blend that I have tried. That being said, I think that the lakeland essence is absolutely delicious, and I cannot say enough good things about it. To me, the chocolate comes through more in the aroma than in the taste, but that flowery, silky smooth essence of the lakeland makes this a winner for me. Great review and great blend, Bob!
