Do you pick up coffee in the morning? Well, if your regular cup of java isn't quite doing it for you, 7-Eleven has now released a new 'Fusion Energy' coffee with natural herbal extracts to help kick-start your day. Their Exclusive Blend coffee is infused with all-natural herbs including guarana, ginseng, and yerba maté, which they believe will boost your energy and sharpen mental alertness. The flavor, however, is supposedly no different than their regular coffee.
The product was tested at Canadian 7-Eleven stores last summer, and has now been launched nationally in the United States.

I had seen this on their "Marquee" above the front door recently, but didn't know what exactly was being "infused" into it.
Honestly, do we really need caffeine enhanced coffee? Or better yet, do they have a "Fusion Decaf" blend?
This coffee craze is getting out of hand.

Yeah, I tried it when they were testing it last summer (just for the Hell of it) and it's really not anything special. 7-11 needs to work on making their base coffee taste better before they start doing weird stuff like this.

Hello All,
I tried this coffee and it is AWESOME! Not too dark or light. Great taste, aroma, & balance of caffeine and strength. Especially when it's fresh.
This coffee is better than McDonald's Premium Roast & comes close to McDonald's Newman's Own Organics Blend in aroma & in quality. (Starbucks coffee is WAY TO STRONG) No balance so, No threat.
This is the BEST coffee out right now! I wrote to 7-Eleven. They said the ONLY way to get the coffee is, by the cup at the store.
Does anyone know where I can buy this buy the lb.?
