Hazelnut
One note on the list: hazelnut. It's a medium roast, organic and roasted to order, and Lifeboost doesn't recommend a brew method. If hazelnut in the cup is what you're after, the listing is about as clear as it gets.
Pick it if hazelnut sounds good to you; organic matters to you.
Best for Hazelnut fans who want an organic medium roast
