The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Coffee, Latte, and Drink Powder Mix, White Chocolate, 22oz. Tin

After 20 years in LA I came to love going to the Coffee Bean. Their brews are smoother and richer and the powders they use in their lattes and blended drinks give way better flavor and depth than the clowing syrups used by Starbucks. Sadly, when we moved away we never found anything even close to CB quality and taste so we started to order the powders on here. The vanilla is the best I have ever tasted, their chocolate powder is lovely for coffee, hot cocoa or shakes and this white chocolate is surprisingly delicious. Yes, it has quite a lot of sugar in one serving and the canister goes quickly if you use it daily but if this is your only sugar splurge it's not bad really and the taste is just incredible. As I grew to love the Coffee Bean's line of extreme blended drinks, which are stronger, I now make mine at home with a coconut milk base, plenty of good instant, the powder and ice. Sometimes I brew a few shots of Lavazza espresso in my Bialetti and add powder and ice. My husband never cared for coffee until I started making these at home. Now he loves it almost more than I do. Honestly, if you are a coffee person and love a rich sweet flavor, hot or cold, this is the platinum standard in coffee ingredients. But I still wish they would open CB in the Midwest!

I love this stuff so much. But they sent me an expired can and are now sold out for the foreseeable future

I think this stuff is brilliant. I use it in my coffee, but I have made a "hot chocolate" out of it and it was pretty damn good. My husband likes the Vanilla flavor, so I order that as well. They make good steamers, too. The product doesn't go far, 2.5 tablespoons/8oz eats up the pound of powder quickly--I saved an old scoop from a protein supplement, and use that. It might be a tablespoon (it's a small scoop), and I add this flavor to my coffee....actually, I mix it with an unflavored medical-grade protein powder for flavor + protein. Good stuff. And the packaging is way over the top: a nice tin can, with a nice tight-fitting lid, and then there is another lid with a ball-knob inside that! A little excessive. PRO: quality, price, dissolves instantly, no lumps, 3g protein/serving, reusable packaging CON: high sugar content (1 serving is 10g sugar), only 32 servings/can, excessive packaging.

I love the taste of this powder...when I put it in my coffee (iced latte) it reminds me of lucky charms cereal. It tastes so good that I find myself drinking 2 of them back to back. I took one star off because most of the ingredients are questionable. This is a 3 pack which is a great deal.

This product is good! I only like coffee with sweeteners and flavors and white chocolate is my favorite. This dissolves well even in cold coffee. (I have not tried this in milk - only coffee) My problem with this product is that one of the containers had spilled at least half it's product. The others may or may not have spilled - there was so much loose sweetened powder in the bag containing the three cans that it is hard to tell. I had hoped with the cute cans that one or more might be able to be given as a gift, but all three cans were damaged. I transferred the powder from the cans with intact lids into quart jars and began using it. I called Amazon and they replaced the product for free. In the second shipment one can is missing it's lid and there is again sweetened powder all around the cans. I have not yet opened the bag because I have one of the jars from the first order in use and have not had time to deal with the mess of transferring this into quart jars. Until I empty out the loose powder surrounding the cans in the bag I can not tell if the cans with lids are dented or not. I gave this three stars because I like the product. I did not seek a replacement the second time because between the two orders I received the amount of product for which I had paid. If Amazon could figure a way to ship it undamaged it would be worth 5 stars for cute packaging.

Was VERY disappointed when I recieved the prodcut and it busted inside the box it was shipped in. The packaging for the product was too loose and gave the cans free reign to tumble around inside the box and therefor the one canister got bent and spilled the powder all throughout the bag. I didn't return it because I just cannot stand dealing with the additional time it takes to return. I just collected the spilled powder and added it into the other two intact canisters. To boot, the white chocolate flavor isn't that great. It's not sugar free and just tastes very bland. The Vanilla, and Dutch Chocolate flavors are the best!

The containers were damaged and the powder was spilled out of the containers into the bags and the box. We managed to pour back the powder from the bag but threw away what was in the box. I am really disappointed with this product. I should have bought that from store. Besides, I don't know why the containers are only full up to two/third of their capacity. Anyway, go and buy from store unless you want deformed half full containers.

Love the flavor and container last a long time
