The cup of coffee actually gets better as you approach the last sip. I found that the first time I tried it months ago and up to today. It's very uniquely smooth with a chocolatey satisfying well balanced finish. Most other coffee I find difficult to finish - maybe a half cup is all I can stand due to bitterness, taste, etc. But Fleur de Lis is enjoyable till the last drop. In fact I find it disappointing when the cup becomes empty. A great cup of coffee.
