Why Gloria Jean's didn't call its seasonal Winter Wonderland K-Cup Coffee, "Decadent Dessert Wonderland" is beyond me.  This is an absolutely delicious flavored K-Cup coffee.  Gloria Jean's describes it as, "the pleasant taste of light spiced sugar cookies with caramel topping" which doesn't do the taste enough justice!  I know, I am normally writing about how dreamy some of the roaster descriptions are like calling a flavor "creamy."  But Winter Wonderland is so good it actually deserves a dreamier description.

I am sipping a cup of Winter Wonderland right now.  But first I have to say that my sinuses must be unseasonably clear because the aroma released while brewing Winter Wonderland was incredible.  It literally smelled like baking sugar cookies with caramel.  But as I have found out during taste-tests of other flavored K-Cups, the taste doesn't always support the aroma.  Not in the case of Gloria Jean's Winter Wonderland.  On the first sip, I tasted exactly what I expected to taste from the aroma - sugar cookies with a hint of caramel.  And the taste lingered after the sip - a sign to me of a darn good coffee.

One thing I have noticed (and I will be researching this) is that Gloria Jean's has consistently delivered a more flavorful flavored coffee.  The way they add the flavor must be unique because their flavored k-cup coffee (in my opinion) is closer to a dessert drink than a coffee drink.  Gloria Jean's Winter Wonderland is definitely no exception to this theory.  The taste of Winter Wonderland is as good as its smell and it absolutely exceeds its description!

Enjoy a perfect cup today.
