Funny. I like a yardgar but instant coffee never works for me - I'd rawther drink black tea. Please let me know if the new Starbucks instant is great.

So I took the Starbucks' blind test twice on the VIA and failed both times. They claim that the VIA tastes the same as their house brew, but I could tell that they were different. I just couldn't guess which one was which. The test was conducted without sugar or cream, so honestly... I didn't care for either.

I had some last week - it wasn't awful or anything like that. It was like an instant and a half, but it was instant. I'd still prefer black tea.
