How does this compare to Holiday Blend? Strength, taste...

I am not familiar with the holiday blend. This coffee is a medium blend, not too bold and good flavor. It's a plus that it is organic as regular coffee is treated heavily with pesticides.

I bought the mint flavor and it's not bad at all. I have taken it by the spoonful, but most of the time I mix it into a smoothie. I haven't noticed an after taste either.

Yes. It comes in many other Scents, some only available during a "Holiday" Month. I've tried all of them {available, to date}, and I agree that the "Holiday" scent is most pleasant! Buy 2 Bottles of your Favorite scent when available, because their "special" scents are made in limited batches, on a yearly basis.

I did not compare the two items before buying. It is more than a year now and I can say that every Sunday I use mine. No regret at all!

In my opinion it is more similar in taste to that of a bland strawberry yoohoo when blended with milk... I like it just fine that way personally..BUT, If you are desperate for a "fuller" strawberry milk taste (or just feel like splurging a bit) add one teaspoon, or two at most, of Hershey's Strawberry syrup. I've done this and it tastes absolutely divine, like its not even a protein shake, but more like a desert shake with all the benefits and none of the "guilt".

French Roast is a stronger bolder taste than Breakfast Blend, not sure about the Java but I had the Java Love one and it was also not as bold as the french roast. It would probably be stronger than breakfast blend too. Hope that helps!

I have always been pleased with the blend. Quite honestly, with the dramatic cost difference, I have never invested in the 100% Kona.

I drink both and find that the Good Earth Sweet & Spicy is a bit sweeter than this one. The Harney has a more spicy flavor that is a bit stronger.

I've used both. The only downside I've found here is texture. This brand is very powdery to the point of being messy. The taste is good.

I'm not sure, because it seems to vary. For me, it doesn't matter which flavor because they're both good, and I'd be miserable without the good night's sleep these give me! Hope you find your answer. :)

I have bought both brands. I think they are pretty close to the same product. More of your preference then anything else.

So, the fit & trim is soy based, so its not going to be as smooth. The pure whey is definitely better (especially when blended!) I recommend the almond flavor (also add almond milk to cut down the calories!) The praline was OK.

I have not tried that one. I will have to buy a bottle to compare. Let me know what you think if you buy one.

It is slightly thinner than store bought. I liked it a lot. Was easy to mix in color. And yes, I could have used it on cupcakes with no issues at all. And it tasted great!

Ya got ME kid - I just drink the stuff ! ;D I WILL say that it's a little bitter for the 'rookies,' and you might have to do a 50-50 thing with mainstream juice (i.e. Apple or grape).However - I've had GREAT experience with the Lakewood stuff - but it IS fresh & shouldn't be left in the fridge (...after opening the bottle ) for more that a few days (...in my opinion)....and try the POMEGRANITE, too !!! It ain't cheap - but is really good !! ;D

My husband says that the Regular is stronger than the Original. I like the taste of the Original myself. The Regular is what they drink at work in Saudi Arabia so I've been trying to get some for him at home. Since I have not been able to get the Regular, they keep sending Original when I order, I don't personally know.

From a purely subjective point of view (and a sample size of just 1), the Wedderspoon Gold had a more balanced/smoother taste to it. The medicinal taste common to the Manuka honeys (of all brands) seemed to be a bit muted in this version. I don't particularly mind the medicinal taste, so I'm on the fence on how much that is worth. That said, others in my house hate that medicinal taste and appreciate the softer tasting Gold version. Hard to say if the 1 jar my answer is based on is representative of all the Gold batches though. My 2 cents, if you want quality Manuka honey with a softer taste... it is worth it. If not, save your money and purchase one of the other raw Manuka offerings.
