no its a special blend of coffee with spices that only ocmes out from Thanksgiving to New Years. It is in low supply and sells out quite quickly - Stacy Nov 24, 22:14 13

- unless they've changed from years past: there aren't any spices, it has spicy notes.-- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:16 2
  - "it becomes spicy..." from the bag (see inside) - Stacy Nov 24, 22:26 1
    - right. those are notes, not actual spices. :) - -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:27
- my point is the "special blend" is just whatever they had the most stock of. - mafic Nov 24, 22:16 7
  - actually its the same price as the 12 oz. bag you buy at the grocery store of the other blends so actually its cheaper. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:18 6
    - yah? they used to charge extra for the special ones. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:21 3
      - well the Christmas Blend is more I think but both are 16 oz. bags. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:30 1
        
        i give up. :) - -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:35
      - fwiw, they do charge a premium vs. regular on their website. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:23
    - fair enough. I'm just saying don't be fooled by the special blend part. -- nm - mafic Nov 24, 22:20 1
      - best to leave it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:21
