The first review was by my old college roommate Megan, who is a for real blogger in Seattle and got invited to a tasting. 

The interesting thing to me is that instant has such a bad rap (Sorry, Poppy) and my initial thought in them taking it on seemed so weird. Then I read its great for iced coffee. WHAT? Instant Iced Coffee? That’s my dream product. Selling for 3 for  $2.95, thats really a good deal compared to the $3.00 per I pay for it at the not starbucks down the street. I am a tiny bit bummed they don’t have decaf but my decaf days are dwindling, and mama needs her daily cup!

You can enter to win some on Megan’s blog, I know I am. 

For lame geeks like me who like to know random facts –  VIA is named after the Starbucks former R&D guy who devised the process 20 years ago while trying to find good coffee on camping trips. He died of cancer last year.
